The CRTFTFIL command in TURNOVER® for iSeries v100 is used to create FASTTASK control files on the production system, a foundational setup step that enables TURNOVER’s FASTTASK feature to function properly in a live environment. Think of it as laying the groundwork for streamlined, automated task execution in production.
What FASTTASK Is
FASTTASK is TURNOVER’s automated task processor—used to:
Execute tasks without manual intervention
Promote objects, run commands, and apply changes in batch
Integrate with forms, worklists, and emergency change workflows
To make this work, TURNOVER needs a set of control files on the production system that define how FASTTASK behaves. That’s where CRTFTFIL comes in.
What CRTFTFIL Does
This command:
Creates the FASTTASK control files in the designated production library
Initializes the data structures needed for task queuing, execution, and logging
Ensures compatibility with TURNOVER’s promotion and automation engine
Can be run interactively or scripted as part of a deployment setup
It’s typically executed once per environment or whenever the FASTTASK infrastructure needs to be rebuilt.
