The package is staged in the SMPNTS and then unwound (pax) in the receive frommnetwork process, so a drop during the initial transfer from the IBM server doesn't affect the zones. >From the fine manual: 14.4.3 Restarting RECEIVE FROMNETWORK If errors occur during the transfer of files for a package, it may be necessary to restart the RECEIVE FROMNETWORK operation in order to complete the transfer of the entire package. You can simply rerun the RECEIVE FROMNETWORK command, and SMP/E will determine which files have already been transferred successfully, and which files need to be transferred again or have not yet been transferred. Before transferring a file, RECEIVE processing checks to see if the file already exists in the package directory of the SMPNTS. If it does, the hash value for the existing file is calculated and compared to the hash value supplied in the package attribute file. If they match, the file is used as it exists in the package directory and is not transferred again. If the hash value of the existing file does not match the value supplied in the package attribute file, the file is transferred from the FTP server and replaces the existing file in the package directory. -- Mark Zelden - Zelden Consulting Services - z/OS, OS/390 and MVS mailto:m...@mzelden.com Mark's MVS Utilities: http://www.mzelden.com/mvsutil.html Systems Programming expert at http://expertanswercenter.techtarget.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
