Third-Party Copy via Local z/OS, from Windows to UNIX 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 UNIX.

//S1 EXEC UCMDPRC

All informational messages will be routed to the z/OS manager. The authentication information for the UNIX 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.

Parameters

The following parameters should be changed to match your information:

Parameter

Description

#USERIDUNX

Encrypted userid and password member for UNIX server

#USERIDNT

Encrypted userid and password member for NT server

UCOPYPATH

Path to UCOPY on the receiving UNIX server

OUTPUTFILE

Path and filename of receiving file on UNIX server

INPUTFILE

Path and file name of sending file on Windows server

UNIXHOST

IP address or hostname of receiving UNIX server

NTHOST

IP address or hostname of sending Windows server

TEMPUNIXID

Temporary file on the Windows server used to house the encrypted logon information for the UNIX server. This file is deleted at the bottom of the script.

MODE

Mode of file transfer (binary/text).

SYSIN Options

The SYSIN options used in this example are:

Option

Description

-script

DD from which to read a script file. The script file is sent to the remote system for execution.

-encryptedfile

DD from which to read an encrypted command options file.

-host

Directs the command to a computer with a host name of NTHOST.

-levelSets the level of message information.
