Subject: FTPing of DFDSS Dump Files
I need to move on zOS system to another. My "simply" plan was to dump
datasets using DFDSS DUMP and then transferring the DUMP file to the other
system using FTP. For the most part it worked out ok- in fact we'd TERSE
the
DUMP file before FTPing and DETERSE after saving lots of bandwidth.
But I've falling into a situation where I have a problem. If I FTP the
DUMP file
to a Windows server using BINARY mode, and then FTP it back to a zOS
system in BINARY mode- DFDSS cannot read the thing. My rear is still sore
over this one.
Does anyone know of a way to FTP the DUMP file back to a zOS system so it
is readable?
If you downloaded the TERSEd files to your PC as BINARY, then you can still
recover, just upload them BINARY to an FB1024 file and DETERSE, then DFDSS
RESTORE. If you downloaded the DFDSS DUMP files directly to the PC, even as
binary, you are hosed. You play with the QUOTE and SITE commands at your
own risk. It's ALWAYS safer to use BINARY transfer of TERSEd or XMIT'ed
files. The shortcuts are great when they work, but I can't take that
chance.
