Issue/Introduction

Can email alert be generated with XCOM for z/OS for transfers that are successful or failed?

 

Environment

Release : 12.0

Component : XCOM Data Transport for z/OS

Resolution

No, email alerts are not generated by XCOM for z/OS.

XCOM for z/OS has a browser-based UI called Control Center, that lets you view and manage XCOM server transactions and view the transaction status. 

As part of Control Center there are different functions and one is the Exceptions function. It allows you to view detailed information about the transfers that did NOT complete successfully. For details on Control Center.

Another option would be to check if OPS/MVS has that option if installed on the system.

Additional Information

XCOM for Windows and Unix/Linux has the option of generating emails for notification of a transfer status.
