Dear Group,
I have been looking at ways to FTP VSAM files between two z/OS systems.
I learned that VSE totally supports FTPing of VSAM files, even when VSE is
the server. But I don't have a VSE system to bounce my z/OS VSAM files off of.
I found something called "DDMFTP" from the Microsoft Developers Network that
works with the Host Integration Server 2004 using the stream input/output
protocol of the IBM Distributed Data Management (DDM) architecture. It
interoperates with a specific target DDM server implementation called IBM
Distributed FileManager. The DDM server is available as a component of the IBM
Data Facility Storage Management Subsystem (DFSMS). Does other software work
with IBM's Distributed FileManager?
I think I figured out VSAM is not supported under z/OS FTPD. To move a VSAM
file it looks like I need to convert it to a flat file. Once you move the flat
file you have all the VSAM work to get it back into a cluster.
Q). Are there any other options (or software) I may be missing to move VSAM
clusters between data centers?
Thank you, Dave
