5-6 Performing Cross-Os File Exchange Operations
Hitachi USP V Cross-OS File Exchange User’s Guide
Performing File Transfer Operations (UNIX)
To perform file transfer operations using the FCU GUI for UNIX:
1. If you will be performing FXmto operations:
a) Make sure that the source datasets are located on the desired FX
volume(s). If you will not be using an existing FCU parameter definition
file, write down the VSN:dataset of the source dataset and the complete
path and file name of the target file for each FXmto operation.
b) Verify that the FXmto target files do not already exist (or can be
overwritten).
c) Vary the FXmto volume(s) and channel path(s) offline from the z/OS host.
2. If you will be performing FXotm operations:
a) Make sure that the source files are located on the desired FX volume(s). If
you will not be using an existing FCU parameter definition file, write down
the complete path and file name of the source file and the VSN: dataset of
the target dataset for each FXotm operation.
b) Create and allocate the target datasets. This ensures that the target
dataset is registered in the VTOC. Make sure to allocate enough space and
to use the appropriate record format and record length for the data to be
transferred.
c) Vary the FXotm volume(s) and channel path(s) offline from the z/OS host.
3. If you will be performing FXoto operations:
a) If you will not be using an existing FCU parameter def. file, write down the
complete path and file name of the source and target files for each
FXotm/mto operation.
b) Allocate the intermediate datasets on the FXoto volume(s). Use the ALC
utility on OPEN-x FMT volumes. Make sure to allocate enough space and
to use the appropriate record format and record length for the data to be
transferred.
c) Verify that the FXoto target files do not already exist (or can be
overwritten).
4. Make sure that the desired FX volume definition file (FXoto only, or FXmto
and FXotm) is available for use by FCU (datasetmount.dat in current
directory).
5. Start FCU with the desired options (see section
Starting the FCU GUI for
UNIX).
Note: If you specify the -nc option, FCU performs all specified operations
continuously, then self-terminates and displays any error information at
the UNIX prompt.
