Products

• XCOM Data Transport - z/OS

Issue/Introduction

XCOM Data Transport has been tested and verified to work with SAMBA.

Environment

Release:
Component: XCPCNT

Resolution

Use UNC conventions when interfacing with SAMBA. It is necessary to define a userid and password to SAMBA that matches the ones on Windows.

examples:
Send a file from z/OS to Windows and write the file on a UNIX machine using a SAMBA connection:
    FILE=\\<IP Address>\xcom\test

        Send a file from Windows to Windows and write the file on a third Windows machine using a SAMBA connection.
            REMOTE_FILE=\\XCOMNT\xcom\test.txt

Note that either the IP address or the IPNAME may be used. The userid and password must be the same for the Windows running XCOM as it is for SAMBA.
