Upload the Software to the Mainframe

The unzipped ChangeMan Attachment contains three XMIT files. Upload the files from the host folder, in binary format, to sequential datasets with a record length of 80 and a block size of 3120, using the following procedure.

  1. On z/OS, allocate the datasets to use as the upload target files. To do this, create a dataset with the same characteristics as the sample job below, or by submitting the job below. If you choose to submit the job, note the following:
    • hlq is the high-level qualifier you choose to use for this dataset.
    • Before submitting, add a job card and modify the parameters to meet your site's requirements.
    • Optionally, add a valid VOLSER and/or change the UNIT parameter.
    //ALLOC1 EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 
    //* 
    //FTPALLOC DD DSN=hlq.CMG.EXEC.XMIT, 
    // DISP=NEW,CATLG,DELETE), 
    // DSORG=PS, 
    // RECFM=FB, 
    // LRECL=80, 
    // BLKSIZE=3120, 
    //* VOL=SER=vvvvvv, 
    // UNIT=SYSALLDA, 
    // SPACE=(TRK,(45,15))

    Repeat this step for the hlq.CMG.CUSTOM.EXEC.XMIT and hlq.CMG.AWMMODEL.XMIT datasets.

  2. To upload the files, you can use FTP from a command prompt.

    In the sample shown below, commands or other information entered by a user are displayed in bold, and the values in the following table are assumed:

    User input Description
    mvsaddr The TCP/IP address or hostname of the z/OS system.
    tsouid Your TSO user ID.
    tsopw Your TSO password.
    hlq High-level qualifier used for the dataset allocated in the job above.
    C:\>ftp mvsaddr 
    Connected to mvsaddr. 
    220-FTPD1 IBM FTP CS V1R10 at custom.com, 12:03:32 on 2011-08-02. 
    220 Connection will close if idle for more than 5 minutes. 
    User (mvsaddr:(none)): tsouid 
    331 Send password please. 
    Password: tsopw 
    230 tsouid is logged on. Working directory is "tsouid.". 
    ftp> cd .. 
    250 " " is the working directory name prefix. 
    ftp> cd hlq 
    250 "hlq." is the working directory name prefix. 
    ftp> binary 
    200 Representation type is Image 
    ftp> put d:\host\hlq.CMG.EXEC.XMIT 
    200 Port request OK. 
    125 Storing data set hlq.CMG.EXEC.XMIT 
    250 Transfer completed successfully.

    Transfer the hlq.CMG.CUSTOM.EXEC.XMIT and hlq.CMG.AWMMODEL.XMIT files to your mainframe system.

    You now have the following files on your mainframe system:

    • HLQ.CMG.EXEC.XMIT
    • HLQ.CMG.CUSTOM.EXEC.XMIT
    • HLQ.CMG.AWMMODEL.XMIT
