FTP to mainframe

[Former Member]

Hi,

We have requirement where in we want pull the dataset from the mainframe system using FTP.

Is it possible to pull the dataset from mainframe using XI FTP adapter ? If so how do we get the directory information for the dataset from mainframe to configure the FTP adapter.

Any ideas on this ?

Hi Anand,

You can do it as two ways.

1) you can schedule a FTP job on M/F to post dataset as a file and then XI pickup that file

2) get the file from M/F using XI FTP adapter -- No directory structure required. you got to know dataset name,but make sure the ID you are using have right read permissions.

All the best. Thanks.
