Issue/Introduction
Is there a way to offload the UAMS File so that it can be copied for use on another system?
Environment
Release: SLOPFC00200-12.1-NetMaster-File Transfer Management
Component:
Resolution
You can use a standard IDCAMS REPRO for copying UAMS.
Sample JCL for backup (you would adjust the DSN's, SPACE and other allocation parameters to match your environment):
//UAMSBKUP EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//UAMSIN DD DISP=SHR,DSN=hlq.UAMS
//UAMSOUT DD DSN=hlq.UAMS.FLATFILE,
// DISP=(NEW,CATLG),
// SPACE=(TRK,(9000,9000),RLSE),
// DCB=(RECFM=VB,LRECL=4096,BLKSIZE=23445),
//* VOL=SER=VOLSERX,UNIT=SYSDA
// STORCLAS=NMDPOOL
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
REPRO OUTFILE(UAMSOUT) INFILE(UAMSIN)
//
Then create an empty UAMS file using the appropriate allocate job from your region build JCL and REPRO the contents back in.
We have no restrictions for using the standard IDCAMS capability for UAMS.
Other options:
- File Master or FileAid, can also be used to copy the VSAM file.
- DFDSS DUMP and RESTORE to a newname will also work successfully.
PLEASE NOTE: We recommend ensuring that the UAMS file is not in use when it is being copied to avoid potential corruption of the file.
