Thanks for the plug John. I'll also point out that if you are using Co:Z Launcher to pipe data between Linux files/applications and z/OS that you also have the option to send the data over a raw socket rather than within the ssh connection. If you have a secure network, like hipersockets between z/OS and zLinux, then avoiding the overhead of encryption can save significant CPU... and the throughput rates of Co:Z over a raw TCP/IP socket via hipersocket scream when compared to NFS.
FYI, there are some case studies and examples for "z/OS Hybrid Batch" here: http://dovetail.com/solutions.html I'm not exactly clear on the details of Mike's requirement.... can you elaborate on where the data is, where you need it, etc? It sounds like you have a db2 database on zLinux and want to export data for processing on z/OS? If so, you could do something like this: // EXEC COZPROC,ARGS="myuser@zlinux" //EXPORT DD DSN=&&EXPORT,DISP=(NEW,PASS), // DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=2052,BLKSIZE=0), // SPACE=(CYL,(20,20)) //COZCFG DD * # option to send data on clear sockets ssh-tunnel=false //STDIN DD * # This shell script runs on the target zLinux guest. # shell redirection is used to export to a pipe file # connected to a todsn process which sends the data to a DD # db2 export to >(todsn DD:EXPORT) of del \ select * from mytable /* //PROC EXEC PGM=MYPROG to process data //DATA DD DSN=&&EXPORT,... ... But it seems more common that your DB2 database is already on z/OS, in which case you would probably want a completely different approach.
