This parameter specifies whether target files should be created with a prefix such as "~" and have to be renamed to the target file name after the file transfer has been completed without errors. This mechanism is useful if the target directory is monitored for incoming files by an application such as JobScheduler and if files are required to appear atomically - i.e during transfer - instead of being shown after transfer has been completed. The value of this parameter is the temporary prefix. This parameter specifies whether target files should be created with a suffix such as "~" and have to be renamed to the target file name after the file transfer has been completed without errors. This mechanism is useful if the target directory is monitored for incoming files by some application and if files are required to appear atomically instead of being subsequently written to. This setting is recommended should target directories be monitored by an application or the JobScheduler. The value of this parameter is the temporary suffix.

Notes
The purpose of the Atomicity parameters is to ensure that further processing steps - such as might be initiated by monitoring systems - can only be started once the file has been fully transferred.
The atomic prefix or suffix are applied added to the file at the target system. File transfer itself occurs under the file's original name.
