Re: File access from remote systems

Thanks, I'm looking at the Rocket Software products. They seem to be more what 
I was looking for.

There is a product called Distributed FileManager/MVS  which I believe used to 
have a Windows client (1997) but now only seems to support OS/2, AS400, and 
AIX. For more info look at 
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.idag200/d9069.htm
to see if this is what you are looking for. There are probably folks on here 
with some experience - I only had some very old manuals for reference for a 
prototype I built while in IBM (which never saw the light of day) - these led 
me to search and find the z/OS 2.1 manual above.

Off topic: People tend to say "distributed systems" and "intel systems", 
while we talk about Windows and Linux/Unix.
IMHO it's more appropriate to use LUW - Linux, Unix Windows. With 
diminishing "U" in the picture.


Of course my hint was related to LUW, not z/OS ;-)

Two free (built in) options:
* DFS/SMB - you z/OS is like Windows file server. Acceptable for read, poor for 
update.
* NFS - good for Unix/Linux and Windows.

Again the tcACCESS product from B.O.S. Software allows SQL based access 
to VSAM, IMS, PDS/PS, DB2, ADABAS, IDMS, DATACOM from Windows, Linux, 
Unix. It uses various connectivity methods (today mostly TCP/IP, but 
also supports 3270, TELNET, MS and more). Standard SQL can be used to 
READ, UPDATE, DELETE, INSERT into the mainframe files. See

For PS and PDS(E) files, z/OS NFS server and Solaris client has worked well for 
me.
for UNIX files, Solaris or z/OS server and z/OS client likewise works well.

How distant is "remote"?  Why is there so little interest in NFS?  We began 
using NFS for
cross-MVS sharing before HFS sharing became available; we never saw need to 
switch.

File access from remote systems

[Ward, Mike S]

Hello all, does anyone know of any software that allows access to VSAM, SEQ, 
CICS files from remote systems. I.E. distributed systems. How is the access 
done? Web service calls? MQ calls?

Thanks.
