To do what you're asking, you really need to get the Linux system
joined with the RSCS network. Sine Nomine has an implementation of
NJE for Unix/POSIX that is reported to work well on Linux.
Meanwhile ... not knowing the details of your environment, so if you
are using USS on the z/OS side ... you can move files to and from
Linux using 'tar'. The following example is just the Linux side.
To send a tarball:
modprobe vmur
chccwdev -e 00d
hcp sp pun to rscs noh noc
hcp tag dev pun zosnode zosqueue
tar cf - file [file ...] | dd of=/dev/vmpun-0.0.000d bs=80 conv=sync
hcp close pun
(I have no idea how to get the spool file into USS on the z/OS end.)
To receive a tarball:
modprobe vmur
chccwdev -e 00c
hcp order rdr the-file-you-want
tar xf /dev/vmrdr-0.0.000c
(Here too, I don't know how to get a tarball created on USS over to
z/OS NJE for transit.) You would, of course, NOT send the tarball in
a NETDATA envelop. Treat it like a raw card deck.
Enjoy!
