Hi all

Can't readily see how to search the group, so apologies if this info is in here

I'm just after opinion as to the best way to transfer files across from a normal MF Lpar , 
including some USS directories, to a copy of this Lpar running on RDz/UT under RedHat linux on a 
VM server. I'm told that shared DASD is not possible between the MF Lpar&   the RDz 
instance,&   we have FTP or NJE (don't know which is quicker). The basic scenario is to do 
regular incremental refreshes of the RDz/UT environment from it's "big brother" MF 
instance

I'm posting this last thing on a Fri arvo, so may not get back to it before 
Monday (it's just gone 4pm here in Sydney)

Melvyn,

I would run DFDSS DUMP, TERSE, FTP binary, DETERSE, then DFDSS RESTORE.

Regards,
Tom Conley


dumb question - the plan that I was given just said basically DFDSS DUMP, FTP, 
RESTORE - what advantage does

Hi Tom

Thanks for that - any particular reason for including TERSE, over just DFDSS&  
FTP ?

cheers

Melvyn

Melvyn,

The DFDSS dump dataset is a RECFM=U file. I've had difficulty in transferring RECFM=U files with FTP, so TERSEing them creates a nice FB 1024 format that can FTP cleanly in binary mode. I also get the compression for a faster FTP. Someone else in this thread recommended TSO XMIT which basically does the same thing without compression, by creating an FB 80 format record.

Regards,
Tom Conley
