CFTUTIL listcat, idt =MR*
List all the flows present in the catalog in June

CFTUTIL listcat, state = h
List all the feeds present in the catalog with the status h old

The LISTCAT command :
CFTUTIL LISTCAT TYPE=ALL/FILE/MESSAGE/REPLY \
CONTENT=BRIEF/FULL \
DIRECT=BOTH/SEND/RECV \
IDA= \
IDF= \
IDT= \
PART= \
STATE=

Settings:
TYPE: F/M/R (file/Message/Reply) – Type of record to list; not filled in all
CONTENT: Simplified or complete list of each item in the catalog; default BRIEF
DIRECT: SEND/RECEIVE – Meaning of the positions to be listed; BOTH default (all) – D
IDT: Transfer Identifier
IDA: Application identifier; Identified of the application associated to the transfer.
IDF: CFT file level identifier; not filled in all
PART: Name of a partner; not filled in all
A – ACK – Acknowledge
STATE: State of a transfer, k, c, h, d, t, x;
D = Display
C = Current File being transferred
H = Hold – File made available or if not, issue problems, see ano code
K = Keep – File not sent, its transfer is maintained
T = Terminated – Transfer successful
X = Executed – Transfer successful and end of transfer procedure executed

Examples :
Example 1
LISTCAT TYPE = ALL, PART = PARIS, STATE = DC

Displays the most important information (CONTENT=BRIEF by default) concerning all transfers (TYPE=ALL) sent to
or received from (DIRECT=BOTH by default) the partner (PART = HQ), the states of which are “Available” or “in Process” (STATE=DC).

Example 2
LISTCAT TYPE = FILE, DIRECT = SEND, PART = PARIS5

Displays the most important information (CONTENT=BRIEF by default) concerning the file transfers (TYPE=FILE)
sent (DIRECT=SEND) to the partner (PART) PARIS5, all states included (STATE=* by default).

Example 3
LISTCAT SORTBY=IDTU

Displays the records by IDTU. This can be useful because the catalog’s compact behavior takes advantage of unused records meaning the IDTU may not display in order.

More:
LISTCAT CONTENT = COMMUT
LISTCAT CONTENT = EXTEND
