Moving files between Mainframe and distributed systems

[Dustin Neely]

Good morning everyone,
I have recently been working to use the ESP agents to move files around our distributed environment. I have been asked if we can also move files from our distributed environment to mainframe datasets and from mainframe datasets to a distributed platform. I have been reading through the manuals but am not finding good details, wondering if anyone here has accomplished this and if so could provide general guide of a job definition!

Thank you 
Dustin

Hi Dustin, 
Below is a sample of an FTP job that moves a file from a UNIX server to the mainframe.  This is the simple case.   The MAINFRAMEUSER's password will need to be defined in the password vault by using the PASSWORD command. 

FTP_JOB FTP1.UPLOAD
AGENT DPU05_FTP
SERVERADDR SYS2.SOMETHING.NET
USER MAINFRAMEUSERHERE 
SERVERPORT 21
TRANSFERDIRECTION UPLOAD
TRANSFERCODETYPE A
LOCALFILENAME '/opt/data/a'
REMOTEFILENAME '''FILENAME.TEST.FTP'''
RUN DAILY
ENDJOB

Let me know if there are any questions.
