FTP dataset

[sambarand]

Is there a way to use orchadmin or other unix utility to ftp a dataset from one server to another? If so, what is the command?

it is not possible, if copy the dataset from one server to another server,dataset control file will missed out,
better to load with datastage job from one server to another server

You can copy a dataset from one server to another, but it is not very simple. Do an "orchadmin ll {dataset}" to your descriptor file. That will give you the names and paths to the actual data files. Copy the descriptor and data files to the new machine, the descriptor file can go anywhere, but the data files must be located in the same path on the new machine as on the old.

if it is NFS mounted between 2 server . you can copy dataset by creating a job were input dataset pointing to 1st server and output dataset to other server . its like file sharing in windows

Thanks

Copying across mounted file systems will not make difference as the data location is controlled by configuration file.

You will have to force a different configuration file during your copy.
