I want to XMIT a dataset from my system. How to find the nodes (nodename) connected to my system?

Is there any command for this and are they different for both Jes2/Jes3?

Please help me

If in ISPF you issue the TSO PARMLIB command it will show you the nodes defined to TSO and their Aliases. Just because they are defined does not mean they exist . If you go int SDSF and issue the NO command it will show you the nodes defined to JES2.

You also need to know the userid in order to XMIT something, so just knowing the nodenames is not enough. Almost useless, actually.

I have never heard it worded like this: "xmit from my system"... always "XMIT to a system". Presumably, you are XMIT'ing to someone... ask them what their nodes and userids are.

Thanks I ve Xmit-ed successfully. But, i didnt find any refernce for this command "*S BDT,S SNA,ST L". Issuing this command gave me the nodes connected with my system, I m curious to know abt the parameters used here

The '*S BDT' refers to a JES3 command; everything after the comma is the BDT command. Google is your friend -- the BDT commands manual is on the first page when you search for 'MVS/BDT: Transaction and Command Reference' which is referenced in the JES3 command manual under *START (*S) BDT.

S SNA,ST L tells BDT to provide the status of the SNA manager and list the active nodes as well.

Two ways ( at least )

- in REXX ===>> SAY SYSVAR('SYSNODE')
- via the Data Areas ==>> check my post in

I think the original post was for "How to find the nodes (nodename) connected to my system? " and not for your own node.

But the sentence is not clear

True but not every user is allowed to access SDSF and not every user is allowed to submit jobs . By this logic we should not give any answers as there will always be USER that is not allowed to do what we suggest

You can see the connected NODES in following panel [if u have access in respective SDSF RACF profiles]

Navigate to SDSF -> NODES
or
TSO ISF NODES from any ISPF panel

Hope the following commands will be helpful
$D NODE(ZOSA) -> display info about node ZOSA [issue from console]

$D CONNECT,NODEA=ZOSA

We dont have (dont have access) to SDSF in our shop, rather we use Flasher as our Spool software.

Any how the command " *S BDT,S SNA,ST L " worked fine for me and i was able to XMIT the dataset to a system connected to mine and I received the dataset as well.

Thank u very much for all ur help icon_biggrin.gif icon_biggrin.gif
