Issue in reading dataset in other environment

[bart12872]

Dataset shouldn't be read in another environment and you can't easily do that. You should read directly in production if you have access.
Anyway, I don't know the reason why you want to see production data, but if you want to debug a job, you should create a set of data in dev independently of production data.

IBM's recommended methodologies:

Alternative: copy via sequential file:

Interesting, but this guy want to transfer a dataset from prod to dev.

From the title page of the tutorial...
This presentation will discuss how to manually copy a dataset from one server to another

The only way to move a dataset is manually. There is no automated process.

Can't we read the datasets which are ftp'd from one environment to other environment using Orchadmin command..?

Thanks

To my knowledge, Dataset cannot be ftped from one server to another server.Dataset is not a single file like a flat file.descriptor file is internally connected to datafiles which are located as per config file

In general no. The descriptor file contains information about the hostname, the configuration and the segment file locations from the original system. These will not be the same on the target system.
