I don’t think I’d use FTP for this mission. It can be quite brittle and difficult to keep secure.
How about the z/OS Management Facility? Chapters 30 and 31 of the IBM z/OS Management Facility Configuration Guide (IBM Publication No. SC27-8419) explain how you can configure and secure a multi-Sysplex (and/or multi-Monoplex) network of intercommunicating primary and secondary z/OSMF instances. And then you should have all the unified operator services you need to distribute and activate IODFs across the several z/OS instances with or without automation. Plus you’d be solving a lot of other, future operational challenges that much earlier. — — — — — Timothy Sipples Senior Architect Digital Assets, Industry Solutions, and Cyber Security IBM Z and LinuxONE sipp...@sg.ibm.com ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
