Re: FTP Problem
Did they check firewall configuration on the Windows boxes? The default settings for the Windows firewalls don't permit FTP.
Re: FTP Problem
Thanks for the responses. Are all ports really open? I think so. I trust the network guy, and he showed me the firewall settings (which didn't mean a lot to me). Can you open a connection going the other way? I can do a trace route which appears to work. Access to 10.200.70.35 is difficult. See below. Are the hanging servers trying to do a reverse dns lookup on the windows workstation? Possibly. I don't know how to tell. Is the windows machine connecting to z/VM using command line or a GUI? GUI. Try the dos prompt command line ftp and see if it still fails. I tried when I visited in December. No luck. One difficulty is that 10.200.70.35 is located at another facility in a high security area with very restricted access, and visitors are subject to being booted out immediately if 'something' happens. This includes my contact at the other facility. That's why I want to try and work the problem from the z/VM end. Did they check firewall configuration on the Windows boxes? The default settings for the Windows firewalls don't permit FTP. The workstation 10.200.70.35 can successfully FTP out, and the server 10.199.8.15 accepts FTP connections to it, so I don't think that the Windows firewall is the problem.

Re: FTP within REXX EXEC
I recommend the very flexible VMFTP shareware. You write macros as REXX execs, giving you complete control of the FTP session. For example, we sometimes send VMDUMPs to a particular ISV (each ISV has its own exec/macro). Some want the VMDUMP COPYFILE (PACKed before sending (doing so preserves record lengths of variable length files when UNPACK'ed at the other end). Rather than documenting all their preferences, and target directory naming conventions, I wrote an FTP2isv EXEC and VMFTP macro (where isv is the ISV's initials). From FILELIST on the VMDUMP, I enter: FTP2isv / outputfn outputft issue_number The FTP2isv process checks to ensure that the file is already COPYFILE PACK'ed, or it find free disk space and does it, then calls the FTP2isv VMFTP macro (again, all written in REXX), establishes the FTP session, issues all the preferred FTP commands (e.g. 'BIN FIXED 1024', 'CD dirname', 'PUT ifn.ift.ifm ofn.oft', 'QUIT'). That makes life a lot easier. z/VM users can easily FTP files to their z/VM userid from z/OS by running a local FTPFMZOS EXEC, which in turns calls a FTPFMZOS VMFTP macro. We've also used it to write execs/macros that send a batch job via NJE to our z/OS systems, which in turn connects back to z/VM to FTP very large (both LRECL and number of records) files from a target disk, then runs additional application programs on z/OS. When the job completes, the initial (still waiting) exec sees the messages sent via NJE and cleans up work files on the user's disk. The VMFTP package can be obtained from: Fran Hensler's excellent Slippery Rock University FTP site with the most recent updates as of 2009-03-13 at: http://zvm.sru.edu/~DOWNLOAD/ It's well worth the time you'll spend installing it and becoming familiar with it.

Your network techs can get a line trace to verify whether or not VM is transmitting 0x0d0a (CRLF) at the end of each record. If it isn't, then you look at the FTP transaction to confirm ASCII mode. (Unlike z/OS, z/VM does not have an option to translate data from EBCDIC to ASCII without insertion of CRLFs.) If it *is* transmitting CRLF, then you have to look at the FTP server to see what's going on.

Thanks Alain Le 22 oct. 2010 à 15:40, Richard Troth a écrit : The syntax you indicate for the BFS stage is wrong. Did it get pasted into the message incorrectly? You can FTP to/from BFS just fine. I forget off the top of my head just how to activate it. You can mount NFS filesystems into a BFS tree. I have used that for years. It is really teriffic. When you mount the filesystem, you must pay attention to whether or not character set translation is in effect. I ALWAYS turn it on or off for the whole hierarchy being mounted. (There is a list option, which I believe is the default, where translation can be applied based on the filename. it gets messy.) DO NOT use NFS for general file transfer. It looks appealing. But it has never worked well. The design of the network filesystem protocols has never been tuned for bulk transfer. This has nothing to do with the implementation, CMS or some other. The underlying NFS protocol is not well suited to heavy content transport. -- R; On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 02:56, Alain Benveniste a.benveni...@free.fr wrote: Hi, I'm looking for a way to reduce a step to send a file.

Re: FTP Question.
There is a tcpip connection for each file. When you say VMFTP are you referring to the FTP program in VM or the VMFTP program supplied by Romney White? In either case, check a few test GET commands and see how long it takes to create session and transfer the file. You should see a PORT command if you are doing active ftp, Enable logging and post some of the logfile. I bet we can see where the delay is coming from.

Either ftpd or tcpwrappers could be trying the reverse lookup. Running tcpdump on Linux for UDP data might reveal whether that's the case. If Linux could offer the data via HTTP, you might be able to retrieve multiple files via a persistent connection... | Rob
Re: FTP and BFS
The syntax you indicate for the BFS stage is wrong. Did it get pasted into the message incorrectly? You can FTP to/from BFS just fine. I forget off the top of my head just how to activate it. You can mount NFS filesystems into a BFS tree. I have used that for years. It is really teriffic. When you mount the filesystem, you must pay attention to whether or not character set translation is in effect. I ALWAYS turn it on or off for the whole hierarchy being mounted. (There is a list option, which I believe is the default, where translation can be applied based on the filename. it gets messy.) DO NOT use NFS for general file transfer. It looks appealing. But it has never worked well. The design of the network filesystem protocols has never been tuned for bulk transfer. This has nothing to do with the implementation, CMS or some other. The underlying NFS protocol is not well suited to heavy content transport. -- R; On Fri, Oct 22, 2010 at 02:56, Alain Benveniste a.benveni...@free.fr wrote: Hi, I'm looking for a way to reduce a step to send a file.

Re: FTP of Nomad database files from VM to VM
I think John's right. Isn't a Nomad2 database RECFM=V? If that's true, won't you lose the record length on each record when it is FTP PUT? COPYFILE (PACK fixes that, preserving the record lengths, but with its obvious overhead at each end, especially for large databases. Just remember when FTPing COPYFILE packed record to first: BIN F 1024 Then when uploading at the target z/VM system, ensure that you upload the file as FIXED 1024, and COPYFILE UNPACK. You might be better off just using a PIPE to send the whole minidisk. Search the IBMVM-L archives for good examples on how to do that.

You didn't mention what FTP client software you're using. Some make it easier than others, but as you know/suspect - a binary transfer is what you need. Perhaps the FTP client you are using is at fault. There are a number of FTP clients you could try, which a Google search will readily turn up. I've used several over the years, some of them are free.

Now that is intuitive. An interesting effect is that using that method, following it with a pipe file | deblock string x0d0a newfile, the new file still in asci has more bytes than one of the files that had the quotes stripped out. When I try pipe newfile | xlate a2e | file3, there are no quotes in file3 - it matches the other files without the quotes.

Right, which is why I offered that option (assuming it was obvious it works between 2 VM systems as well) When dealing with 2nd level systems you often don't have the space and CPU cycles to pack the data just to protect the record layout. And if you configured it such, an FTP to the virtual reader is a nice option as well. -Rob

In looking at many cases like this, it was NEVER the network or TCPIP, but something else on z/VM, sometimes Escon channels, sometime device contention, sometimes cache in the storage controller, sometimes CPU contention.

You should also consider using a Linux guest as a firewall/NAT router between the physical hipersocket and a VSWITCH or guest LAN instead of dedicating the connection to the VM stack. Since the number of hipersockets are limited, and setting them up is a royal PITA, a setup like that allows more guest systems to take advantage of the connection w/o reinventing the wheel every time, and provides significant traffic shaping and management capabilities. It will cost you some cycles, but it's worth considering if you need a managed path between the guests and don't want to use an external switch path for network performance or security reasons.
