Subject: How to copy Tape dataset to unix mainframe?
Posted: Fri Jul 08, 2016 2:52 am (GMT 5.5)
Hello,
We have a requirement in the migration project where we need to SFTP the dump of a DB2 table to some other destination. As the DB2 dump is huge, I am saving it on Tape and not on DASD. I am also able to do SFTP this Tape file by using option mount. But the problem is that this SFTP takes around 4 to 5 hours.
So I realized I could optimize this by having the file on unix mainframe and compress it and then do the SFTP. But the oput command in unable to work on the Tape file. It is working fine on the DASD files. I know a normal suggestion would be that save the file on DASD, transfer it on unix and then do the compress. Is there some direct command like oput where I can directly put the Tape file to unix mainframe? Below is what working with the DASD file and not with the Tape files.
