My first stop would be to better understand the upload (sever to MF) process. From your description, the MF is just a repository. It has no idea what is in the files.
In other words, server 'a' is FTP'ing to the MF with instructions to stow data in X.Y.Z(+1). I would ask why server 'a' is sometimes storing data in server 'b' files. I would also look into making it impossible for server 'a' to access server 'b' files via MF security. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Liberatore Sent: Thursday, February 28, 2008 6:05 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: FTP question I have several Open systems servers each running windows 2003. having unique IP addresses and each running their own scripts to capture data. This data is then being sent via ftp and stored on mainframe lpar as GDGs. Each file being sent to the mainframe is unique and is being stored in their own GDGs. However in some cases data from Server A is being stored into Server Bs GDG on the mainframe and vice versa. Doesn't happen consistently. Any idea as to how data from one Server A can be getting stored on Server Bs files? Again, each Sever has it's own IP address and its on Mainframe GDG data sets. Thanks in advance!!
