DSXchange

Hi all

Im just reading up on the Mainframe jobs, and have a question.

When the Job is designed and ready for upload to the mainframe, is it FTP that uploads the code to the mainframe? Are we limited to FTP? What if a companies policy is to only use connect:direct? Can we use this instead?

The COBOL and JCL are generated by DS390 into files on the server. You specify the location!

You can upload them from there by any means you like.

However, the Upload button is constrained - as far as I am aware - to using FTP and the properties specified in the machine profile.

(You marked your post as "server", but server jobs have no upload capability. You could use an FTP stage - good luck with the politics! - or you could write Sequential Files and transfer them with any command line utility, possibly via ExecSH or DSExecute.)
