Using NDM to tranfer file within the same region

shailesh.pawar · New User Joined: 18 May 2012 Posts: 11 Location: India

Hi! I have created a sample job that uses ndm to transfer file from one region to the other( i.e. from test to production). As currently we have not been provided access to production region , just to check whether it runs , I modified the job to transfer file within the same region(i.e. from test to test) where the file will be given some different name(i.e. original file name is unload1 and target file name is unload2) . After running the job , no error is shown but the target file(i.e. unload2) is not getting created. Just want to clarify whether ndm allows this ?? If it allows it , then what can be the reason behind the file not getting created ??
Thanks in Advance !!!

Any chance there might have been some messages issued?

maybe if you showed us the control cards used,
we can point to the parameter about which you need education.

just a question,
WTF use NDM to transfer (copy a file from one dsn to another?)

NDM allows you to specify the same system as both the PNODE and SNODE.

I have used following Control Cards :

SIGNON NETMAP=SYSS.NDM.NETMAP -
ESF=YES
SUBMIT DSN=XXXXX.XXX.DATALIB(VLD1TRNS) -
PNODE=ADC1 SNODE=ADC1 -
HOLD=NO -
&FROMDISP=SHR -
&DSN1=XXXXX.XXX.TBXXX.UNLOAD1 -
&DSN2=XXXXX.XXX.TBXXX.UNLOAD3
SIGNOFF

Where VLD1TRNS contains the code :

PROC1 PROCESS PNODE=ADC1 -
SNODE=ADC1
STEP1 COPY TO (SNODE DSN=&DSN2 DISP=NEW) -
FROM (PNODE DSN=&DSN1)

As I asked a long long time ago (but in this galaxy):

The job gets completed with maxcc = 0 .I observed logs using jhs , there too it does not show any messages that indicate failure of the process !!!

Right - 2nd time you said no "error" messages. I believe you.

ANY messages?

What does the Connect:Direct Select Statistics Report say?

NDM step writes the details of the transfer to //SYSPRINT DD I think OR //NDMLOG.(Dont have NDM to test it now)

Let us know the messages inside them.

This might sound silly, but can you try DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)
instead of DISP=NEW.. worth a shot.

you need to find the 'messages' from the PROCESS NUMBER 00034436
which will not be in your job.

you are getting an rc=0 based on the fact that you have a syntax error-free
submit.

the actual work is done by the NDM started task which received your request for transfer,
and logged it as PROCESS NUMBER 00034436.

you have not shown us the info for the ndm proccing of PROCESS NUMBER 00034436
which again, will not be found in your job.

Shailesh,

Go to ":Connect:Direct for z/OS" and under the option SS "VIEW STATISTICS FOR A COMPLETED PROCESS" provide your process number. It will list you the log, from there you can confirm whether the NDM is actually successful.

Generally when you submit a NDM job, Connect direct process is initiated and before the file is transferred, job completed with successful RC. So with the return code of job we cannot say the file transfer is success. You need to check the process number to confirm it.

Phrzby Phil · Posted: Mon May 21, 2012 5:05 pm

Message SSPA001I merely says that the submitted process was queued.

These processes are asynchronous, so your job will not know what happened.

Select Statistics Report please?
