Hi list,
Does anybody out there use BMC's Control-M Advanced FTP product? If so,
can you tell me just what the product does and what impact it has on
replacing standard FTP? I'm being pushed by mgmt to "replace our FTP
with this" and I can't figure out at first look just what it is that
makes this software necessary in my shop.
Thanks.
Rex
If this is the same thing that BMC has attempted to sell us, it is a
program they have that acts like a ftp client, but it runs on
distributed OS's. It does NOT run on z/OS, nor does it replace anything
on z/OS.
If you have a file that resides on z/OS you want to tranfer, this
product connects to the mainframe FTP sever, issues a "get" then
connects to the remote server and issues a "put."
It detects if the ftp fails and then, based on your rules will retry
sending the file.
