Mainframe FTP Service Configuration

Many installations are already configured to post SMF feedback for FTP server activity. These instructions apply to installations that may not have this feature already enabled.

Configure FTP server to enable SMF records. By default, the mainframe FTP server is not configured to record SMF events for FTP activity. In order for the Automic Automation Intelligence server to initiate the triggering of the EVENT JCL job, SMF events must be enabled for the FTP Server. To enable SMF feedback for the FTP server, code the following in the FTP.DATA configuration file (typically TCPIP.FTP.DATA). This setting, along with external data set tracking for CA7, should enable the Automic Automation Intelligence data set trigger in CA7.

• SMF STD; SMF records use standard subtypes.
