Third-Party Copy via Local zOS, from Windows to Windows
Third-Party Copy via Local z/OS, from Windows to Windows via Universal Copy
The following figure illustrates the third-party copying of a file from a local z/OS system, which executes a ucopy command from Windows to Windows.
The standard error is read into the UMET utility to verify the existence of the input file. The last step copies standard error to the job log.
All error messages will be routed to the z/OS manager. The authentication information for the Windows server must reside on the z/OS.
The file is copied as a text file, since the default transfer mode for standard files is text.
The UMETSTEP step executes the UMET utility. UMET is used to set the condition code field to a value based on message text. The SYSIN DD is the standard error of the first step and the TABLE DD is the table defining which condition code to be used when text is found.
Note
The UMET program is used because native Windows returns a 0 return (exit) code, even when the stdin does not exist. Therefore, the process would end with a 0, even if the input file did not exist. UMET will set the condition code to 8.
The IEBGENER step will copy the standard error file to SYSLOG if the process gets a non-zero condition code.
