Issue/Introduction

In previous releases of XCOM Data Transport for z/VSE, if a user ID was not defined locally to the target Windows system, the XCOM Data Transport for z/VSE user ID and password authentication failed.

Environment

XCOM™ Data Transport® for z/VSE

Cause

Previous releases of XCOM for z/VSE did not support the DOMAIN parameter.

Resolution

XCOM Data Transport for z/VSE 3.1 has added the DOMAIN parameter to the existing array of transfer control parameters. Using this new parameter, you can organize your user IDs under the auspices of various Windows domains.

The DOMAIN parameter can be specified as any of the following:

  • XCOMJOB PARM parameter
  • Default options table parameter
  • Destination parameter
  • SYSIN01 parameter 

The DOMAIN parameter is not supported in a LIST destination member, only an individual destination members. 

This parameter is only effective for transfers to CA XCOM Data Transport running under Windows, as the concept of DOMAIN has no meaning on other platforms. If specified for other platforms, it is ignored. The DOMAIN parameter specified on the mainframe will override the DOMAIN parameter specified in the xcom.glb file on Windows unless it is blank.
