Parameters

Parameter

Description

logical-name

Logical name of the transfer server on which to change the file system.

dd | dsn | hfs | lib

File system with which the specified server is working:

  • If the value is dd, the DD name file system is used on the specified server (valid only for z/OS).
  • If the value is dsn, the data set name file system is used (valid only for z/OS).
  • If the value is hfs, the HFS file system is used. (Valid only for z/OS and IBM i. For z/OS, USS is used; for IBM i, IFS (root or QOpenSys) is used.)
  • If the value is lib, the LIB file system is used (valid only for IBM i).

If no value is given, UDM will return the current file system for the specified transfer server.

Default is dsn.

Note

UDM supports multiple file systems only under z/OS and IBM i. An attempt to change the file system for a server running under Windows or UNIX will result in an error.

Example


To set the file system on the server with the logical name mvsmachine to the dsn file system:

filesys mvsmachine=dsn
