I like to do the Internet download from ShopzSeries. It works fairly well. However, I have a problem in that I just don't have a lot of z/OS dasd to dedicate to the SMPE UNIX files needed. What I do at present is download to my Windows desktop. I then "tar" (Cygwin) the directory containing the files. Next, I ftp that tar file to my Linux desktop. I unwind the tar file into a directory which is NFS mounted on z/OS. Oh, did I mention that my SMPWKDIR is also NFS mounted to my Linux desktop? This works. But is excessively S..L..O..W due to the network I/O.
What I'd like to do is take the downloaded pax.Z files and create a tape from them. I would need to "unwind" the pax files on Linux, then ftp them to z/OS. After unwinding the pax files, I end up with a SMPHOLD file and a SMPMCS file. Could I then just ftp (binary) these to my z/OS system (to a virtual tape, perhaps) and do a "normal" RECEIVE? -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
