Temporary openFT data sets

In order to execute certain functions, openFT creates temporary data sets. These are normally deleted automatically after the function has been executed. If, due to an error, they are retained, they must be deleted explicitly. The temporary openFT data sets are as follows:

transuid.podsname.U

Each time an entire PO or PDSE data set is transferred, a temporary PS data set is created in the send and receive system as a buffer for the file in "unloaded" format (IEBCOPY). These data sets are normally deleted after transfer.

transuid:	User ID specified in the TRANSFER-ADMISSION for the system involved.
podsname:	Partially qualified name of the PO or PDSE data set.
.U:	This suffix identifies the temporary PS data set.

These temporary PS data sets are set up on the volume specified for this purpose in the PARM member of the FT parameter library (keywords
UNLOADVOL/UNLOADUNIT). If no specification is made here, the system defaults for newly created files apply.

Each of these temporary PS data sets has approximately the same storage requirements as the corresponding PO data set.

<openft qualifier>.IEBSPILL.ddn1.ddn2

Each time an entire PO or PDSE data set is transferred, small temporary PS data set is created in the send and receive system as a buffer for creating the directory in the event of a main memory bottleneck. These data sets are normally deleted after transfer.

<openft qualifier>	OPENFT QUALIFIER that was defined using the FJGEN command (see section “FJGENPAR - Output installation parameters”)
ddn1, ddn2	DD name supplied by the z/OS system.

These scratch files are set up on the default volume (system-specific).

FJCMD.TMP.OUT

When some menu interface functions are executed, a temporary PS data set is created as a buffer for the command. This data set is normally deleted after execution of the function.

These scratch files are set up on the default volume (system-specific).

<openft qualifier>.<inst>[e-mail]
<openft qualifier>.<inst>[e-mail]

Scratch files that are created during preprocessing and postprocessing are usually then deleted again.

<openft qualifier>	OPENFT QUALIFIER that was defined using the FJGEN command (see section “FJGENPAR - Output installation parameters”)
<inst>	Instance name of the currently set openFT instance
