File transfer using High level Qualifier.

Knowledge Hunter · New User Joined: 17 Aug 2006 Posts: 22 Location: India

hi all,

I am having requirement to transfer files from production region to test region. We are using NDM for transferring files.

i need to transfer files, for which only high level qualifier is alone known.

Eg: if you given a High level qualifier USERID.XXXX.*, is should able to retrieve all the files under that high level qualifier.

USERID.XXXX.A
USERID.XXXX.B
USERID.XXXX.C
etc..

I am not sure of how many files are there in a high level qualifier. Is there a method to do the same?

Hello,

Must you use ndm?

If you create a dfdss backup using one or more hlq(s), you could then restore the files on a target system.

Aaaaaaaaaaaah, Dick, almost the same suggestion as I was going to make.

I have in the past NDM'd DFdss files to other sites where they were then restored with a change to the names.

Hi Dick,

thanks for the quick reply

For submitting a batch job which invokes NDM, i am not having the info like how many files are under that high level qualifier.

Can you please elaborate your answer?

If you collect all of the datasets into one file using DFdss (PGM=ADRDSSU) you will only have ONE file to NDM across to where ever.

hi,

i tried the below JCL

//ADRDSSU JOB (YYYY,ZZ),'JCL',MSGCLASS=D,CLASS=B,
// MSGLEVEL=(1,1),NOTIFY=&SYSUID
//STEP1 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU
//TAPE DD DSN=USER.ADR.BACKUP.ONE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
// DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=8273,BLKSIZE=32760),
// VOL=(,RETAIN),
// LABEL=RETPD=30,
// UNIT=TAPE80
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=A
//SYSIN DD *
DUMP OUTDD(TAPE) -
DS(INCL(USER.D22NOV.K22X.*.LOADCARD))
/*

It works fine. Now do we need to NDM, USER.ADR.BACKUP.ONE alone?
If so please let me know how to get back the original files?

Yes, that's the file to NDM

At the remote site, you will need ADRDSSU to restore the files.

hi expat,

Could you pls tell me what parameter should i change to run ADRDSSU in remote site?
It would be great if you give a sample JCL template?

hi expat,

One more question

while doing ndm i need to rename the dataset correponding to that remote site. the current HLQ is not supported in the remote region.

In that case will i able to do that?

I tried RENAMEU(SYSTEMA.FILE1*.*. SYSTEMB.FILE2*.*)
and it doesnt work.

i am getting the below error

ADR141E (001)-RI03 (06), ERROR IN DATA SET NAME SYSTEMB.FILE2*.*

ADR017E (001)-CLTSK(01), 2007.156 10:03:27 TASK NOT SCHEDULED DUE TO ERROR. TASK RETURN CODE 0008

Note:SYSTEMA, SYSTEMB are the HLQ in two sites

Kindly throw some light on this

Thanks

hi dick,
i removed the period and given a comma in between old and new dsn, but again i am getting the same error. ADR141E

As per the syntax a space should be given between new and old DSN.

i am pasting my restore job below

Hello,

Where in the doc did you find that syntax with a space (where you originally had a period and i thought a comma might be better)? I don't see that (the space delimiter) in the link you posted. . .

It is possible that the DATASET parameter needs to be specified before the INDD (not sure, but the manual shows it that way).

I'll try to look around some this evening for some kind of similar example.

You might look around at your site and see if anyone has done a similar RESTORE.

Thanks dick

I will try from my end to figure out the problem.

Hello,

I believe i may have misunderstood your current problem - i thought it was when you were trying to do the restore of the dfdss-created file.

I just re-read the posts and this got my attention

i faced the similar error when i tried renaming the files while restoring. I used the same jcl as below.
