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 -ncoption, FCU performs all specified operations continuously, then self-terminates and displays any error information at the UNIX prompt.
