I have two z/OS systems joined by a real fast TCP connection. (They're actually two guests on the same VM, but seeing as how I have relatively little knowledge or authority on the VM side of things it may be simpler to just think of them as two adjacent machines.) This is the IBM Dallas "Innovation Center," FWIW.
What would be the best way of replicating all of the "user" UNIX files from one to the other? I can of course identify the "user" files by their highest directory name. I want to propagate all of the permissions and so forth. Is there a good way to do that? FWIW I have complete authority on the z/OS machines; I can run SPECIAL and/or OPERATIONS if necessary. Related question: the UNIX file system on the "old" machine is a hodgepodge of VSAM LDS. Every time we needed a bunch more space we simply defined a big enough VSAM LDS and mounted it as whatever we needed. There's no advantage to keeping the existing structure, is there? I should just define a single space big enough to hold everything? I have no idea what the future might hold but I don't think the UNIX file inventory is going to shrink significantly. Thanks, all.
