Task 2: Unload the Distribution Files

4.2.2 Task 2: Unload the Distribution Files

The TMA TCP for IMS product is distributed in a single package (with other members of the Tuxedo Mainframe Adapter for TCP product). The TMA TCP for IMS distribution files are grouped under one of the following directory structures:

For UNIX, the directory is unixmf.
For Windows, the directory is ntmf.

Because the distribution files are located in the package, you probably use a UNIX-based system or a PC-based system to access the files in the package and file transfer them to z/OS.

Transfer the contents of each sub-directory to the corresponding distribution library on the z/OS system. Use a file transfer program (such as FTP) or any other mechanism that allows you to transfer files to your z/OS system. The file transfer program must be able to:

Properly transfer both text and binary files
Properly create members in a target library (PDS)

The IBM File Transfer Program (FTP, distributed as part of TCP/IP for z/OS) satisfies both of these requirements.

Each file in each sub-directory in the package corresponds to a member of the associated target library. For example, file BEATCPI in the JCL sub-directory corresponds to member BEATCPI in the JCL distribution library.

Note:

All files in the CONTROL, INCLUDE, JCL, and SOURCE sub directories are text files; be sure to specify text (or ASCII) mode when you transfer these files from the package to their corresponding z/OS distribution library members.

The MSGCAT file and all files in the OBJECT sub-directory are binary files; specify binary (or image) mode when you transfer these files from the package to the corresponding z/OS distribution library members.
