There is a need to directly access OS/390 datasets from Linux partition.
It seems that from USS, it is possible to symlink OS/390 datasets to USS directory/file using BXPCOPY callable service and from batch. From there I could use Samba or NFS for access from Linux. Would this be a good idea? Is there a way to define a pipe from OS/390 directly to Linux LPAR? This allow synchronous processing. Socket interface would be good but a little clumsy to implement from the OS/390 side. We have a CICS transaction that does LU6.2 handshake with US Customs that I need to redirect to the Linux partition, that is running Websphere MQ. I might have already mentioned this earlier. So please bear with me. I would like to explore the possibilities. I am looking for an elegant and yet robust solution. Ideas welcome. Thanks
