Re: Toolsrun function without RSCS

[O'Brien, Dennis L]

We have the master copy of our tools disk in SFS on one system.  Each system 
has a local copy on minidisk.  A job on each system accesses the master and 
applies updates to the local copy every night.  If the SFS master isn't 
available, no harm is done to the copies.

Hi...   I fondly remember TOOLSRUN from my IBM days...   We're looking 
for a similar function - a tools repository mirrored between many VMs, 
some distant.   But we aren't licensed for RSCS, and that cost becomes 
prohibitive for this customer...

So short of writing our FTP based tool, does anyone have any thoughts on 
any easy way to keep a set of local tools in sync across multiple systems?

Thanks,
Lee

That's a good option. We have a TOOLS: filepool that we distribute via SFS to 
our VM systems that contains the basic goodies we provide to the users. There's 
also a CRASH: filepool that has sysprog utilities, eg TRACK, etc.

Don't forget there are alternatives to RSCS to provide TCPNJE services for VM 
(and other OSes too). 
TOOLSRUN works just fine with the replacements.

Thanks for the several ideas!   I'm sure we can get one of them to do 
just what we need...

Faced with similar circumstances, I used the UFT support in the free RSCS
and the UFTD server that comes with TCPIP.  Then it was a simple exercise
to note and propagate changes.

NFS?   If you truly want a local copy, just in case - run a local 'sync' 
from the NFS disk.   Maybe even use a Linux guest and 'rsync' rather than 
coding compare logic?

We share an SFS across the various systems using ISLINK and IPGATE for the more 
distant ones. Works great as long as the host system with the SFS is up and 
running.
