We are creating our third Sysplex and see that in this case we are going to have data sets which are routinely created on tape in one that need to be moved to another. These two Sysplex may someday be geographically separated and we don't want to use a solution like export to a tape cart and go stick it in a different ATL. All transfers are z/OS to z/OS only. IBM z/OS FTP and CA-XCOM are already deployed in these LPARs but there is discussion as to weather we need a different approach for tape data sets. So what do you do? We have some IBM consultants pushing MQ http://www-01.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/filetransfer/index.html http://www-01.ibm.com/software/websphere/products/appintegration/hiddenr isk/ Best Regards, Sam Knutson, GEICO System z Performance and Availability Management mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] (office) 301.986.3574 (cell) 301.996.1318 "Think big, act bold, start simple, grow fast..." ==================== This email/fax message is for the sole use of the intended recipient(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.
