Re: Whats the best way to transfer dasd from z/os to Hercules


 

Hi Brian,
?
If you are just talking about a small handful of datasets, you could set up an NJE link between the two systems using TCPNJE, and transmit and receive them.? This is probably the easiest.
?
If it is a lot of datasets, then I'd use ADRDSSU to create a big sequential file containing all of your datasets, and then use a utility called AWSUTIL, which is a mainframe assembler piece of code that takes a sequential file and makes an .aws tape image out of it.? Then you can FTP the tape image to your PC and it can be input directly into Hercules and the guest there could run ADRDSSU again to recreate the datasets.? In the past Ive also successfully used IEBCOPY to unload my personal PDS's to a sequential file followed by AWSUTIL, then FTP that result to my PC and then reload the PDS's right from the .aws tape into Hercules.
?
For en entire volume, CCKDDUMP also works.? The resulting file is already Hercules ready, so simply FTP the CCKDDUMP result to your PC, and use it in Hercules like any other dasd image file. My experience with CCKDDUMP was before CCKD64 so I can't speak to the latest.
?
In no case did I ever use TERSE.

Bob
