Upload the Software to the Mainframe

The unzipped ChangeMan Attachment contains two XMIT files. Upload both 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 following 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))
  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 Connection will close if idle for more than 5 minutes.
    User (mvsaddr:(none)): tsouid

    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.

    250 Transfer completed successfully.
    Executing this procedure transfers the following files to your mainframe system:
    • HLQ.CMG.EXEC.XMIT
    • HLQ.CMG.XML.XMIT
