Hi Team, Request your help. I have Mainframe dataset. I have to send this dataset to Unix directory and then a Java program will process that dataset (or a file as called in Unix) and send backt the processed file from Unix back to Mainframe as dataset. NDM would be a easy way but we wanted to avoid NDM. I tried to do OCOPY(OMVS) to copy the file to Z/os Unix (still not succesfful with JCL) but then the Java program is outside Mainframe. Could you help me how to achive this. Thank you Badri.

Badri2016,

There are couple of ways you can send the file to unix server and receive it back

1. Use SMTP
2. Use FTP to send the file to unix and receive it back

Hi Kolusu, Thank you, yes we can use SMTP or FTP. But it we use it in our case then we have to make changes to our proc create job dependencies and i have move lot of steps to another proc. Hence wanted to check with your group to see if there is anyother method to call or connnect to Java program in Unix outside Mainframe. Kindly request you to let me know if any such method. Thank you.

Part of the process of implementing new stuff is to adapt old stuff to match the requirement. So what is the problem? If this moving of steps was not in the plan simply add a task to cater for it and then do the necessary.
