If you have VSSI's VTAPE product, you can use VTAPE for the SPXTAPE, assuming you are using a fairly recent build.

For an exact copy: SPXTAPE to dump the RDR file to tape, then restore on the target system. If you only need to set the origin userid: use Diagnose D4 to set the alternate userid of the copying user to the sender's userid. As this is cheating, one needs a special CP class to be able to use Diag D4; and if an ESM is installed, extra permissions are required in the ESM (for RACF that is in class VMBATCH). My RxServer package contains a DIAGD4 MODULE, you would use this sequence: DIAGD4 copier sender EXEC COPYRDR DIAGD4 copier OFF 2009/9/17 Gonen Shoham <gone...@sapiens.com<mailto:gone...@sapiens.com>> Hi I have the COPYRDR exec (from long time ago) which sends RDR file from one machine to another - keeping ALL the original RDR file properties. I found out that the USER which sent the original RDR file is not kept when the RDR is copied to another user. Can someone suggest a better way to "replicate" RDR file from one machine to another with keeping the original user ? many thanks -- Kris Buelens, IBM Belgium, VM customer support
