Configuration options on z/OS
The IBM® MQ Managed File Transfer configuration options on z/OS® are the same as the options for distributed platforms.
On z/OS, the configuration location is defined by the environment variable BFG_DATA. If a configuration does not already exist under the UNIX System Services directory that is referenced by BFG_DATA, the BFGCUSTM JCL script of an MQMFT command PDSE library data set generates the jobs required to create the configuration. The configuration is then created when you run these generated jobs. Configuration creation relies on BFG_DATA referencing an existing directory that is accessible.
You can also create and maintain a configuration by using the same fte commands that are available on both distributed platforms and z/OS. For a list of the fte commands, see Summary of the IBM MQ Managed File Transfer commands.
