Compatibility Command Line Interfaces

Compatibility CLIs are provided to ensure backward compatibility with legacy automation and operational scripts.

VFS, Queue Manager and Queue mapping in DMS

To use these compatibility command lines, a VFS structure compatible with the QueueManagerName / QueueName model must be defined in Data Mover Smart.

In legacy products, CLIs were executed on a QueueManagerName and its related QueueName. Now, they can be used in VFS, where 1-level folders represent the QueueManagerName and 2-level folders within them represent the related queues.

Each level‑1 folder (QueueManagerName) must have a unique name across all VFS definitions. This ensures that CLIs can correctly and uniquely identify the queue manager on which to run the command.

Here's the list of supported compatibility CLIs:

Command line interface	Purpose
FILELIST	Lists files contained in a queue, optionally filtering the result set based on selection criteria
FILETDSP	Dispatches one or more local files into a queue
FILETACQ	Acquires one or more files from a queue
FILEREMOVE	Removes files contained in a specified queue
