Hi,
How to access the VSAM Files from the Mainframe server.
Do we have any Plug in for mainframe - VSAM like SAP plug in to access from Unix box.
If so, where can I get the information regarding that.

Thanks for the response.

Hi Phani,

As far as I know, there is no plugin for PX that will let you directly access VSAM files residing on mainframe. However, there might be some mechanism to directly read from mainframe in DS390.

In PX, You need to first ftp the VSAM file from the mainframe to the UNIX box and then convert it from EBCDIC to ASCII format and then process it further according to your requirement.
