How to reduce cft.out file size? - removing CFTUxxx output messages

Problem

The cft.out file contains all output of CFTUTIL when called from post-processing procedures.
It makes that file growing quite fast when the monitor have to manage a heavy load of transfers.


Resolution


You can avoid CFTUTIL program to log output messages, it will reduce in a significantly way the number of lines recorded in the cft.out file.



Just add the option "/m=40" to all CFTUTIL call in post processing scripts:
For example:
Use cftutil /m=40 send part=part1,idf=test instead of: cftutil send part=part1,idf=test



All CFTUxxx messages will be filtered.



Note:
The messages filter argument works for all UNIX and Windows CFTs:



I.E:
Send command issued on a CFT for Windows without the messages filter option:



C:\Axway\Synchrony\Transfer_CFT\runtime>cftutil send part=part1,idf=test
