Still don't fully understand. Are you migrating from 5.3 to 5.4. The you need to make one directory in which you take *your* stuff only from the 5.3 system. The hardest job in the z/VM world as has been mentioned here e few days ago. Alan pointed to the z/VM Migration Guide.
To get the source of the 5.3 directory in the secondlevel system. You could do the following: - in the directory entry of the secondlevel VM, include LINK DIRMAINT 1DF 1DF RR and restart the secondlevel user, - and/or: issue CP SEND CP seconlvlVM LINK DIRMAINT 1DF 1DF RR (but then you have to supply the password too). In the 5.4 system: Logon to MAINT for example and issue ATTACH 1DF * 1DF R/O ACCES 1DF Z And -miracle- on the Z-disk you can see the USER BACKUP of the first level system what allows you to extract the wanted pieces. 2009/4/20 <sunny...@wcb.ab.ca>: > > Thanks, Rob: > But I also need to turn on DIRMAINT at the second level.
