Changing the Current Directory in UDM

The cd command is an easy way to change the current directory in the UDM Common File System, discussed earlier in this section.

By default, when the manager is involved in a two-party transfer, the current directory for primary server is the path in which the manager was launched under. Under z/OS, this would be the high-level qualifier for the user id the manager is running as. The secondary server (as well as the primary server in a three-party transfer) has a default path of the authenticated user's home directory for hierarchical file systems and a high level qualifier corresponding to the authenticated user for dd and dsn file systems.

A user can change the current path for a specific server by issuing a cd command:

In this example:

• lname is the logical name of the transfer server to change its default path.
• current-directory is the new current directory to set.

If the cd command is issued with only a logical name, UDM displays the current directory for the corresponding transfer server.
