If you run VeriMove on z/OS, follow these steps to upload exploded files to the z/OS platform:
- Run UploadServer. Before the USPS database can be uploaded to an MVS system, you must run UploadServer on the PC where the USPS database has been loaded. Go to the folder where VeriMove is installed (for example, C:\PB\VeriMove) and click on "UploadServer.exe". A DOS window will appear indicating that the program is running. Each time a file is uploaded in the steps described in the following sections, the name of the file will be echoed. When you are done uploading, you may close the DOS window to terminate the UploadServer.
- Edit the Config File. On the MVS system, edit 'yourhlq.VERIMOVE.SAMPCNFG' and do a "change all" on the lowercase variables described at the top of the file.
- Upload the VeriMove Data. These are files that originally came from the installation of VeriMove on the PC but were copied (by explode.bat) into the same folder as the USPS database. Edit the file 'yourhlq.VERIMOVE.INSTALIB(UPLOAD)' and do a "change all" as described the comments at the top of the file. In particular, set "manifestmember" to ‘VERIMOVE'. When you execute this JCL, which only takes a few seconds, several files are uploaded.

Upload the USPS Database. The upload of the USPS database requires one of three JCLs depending on the type of database you are uploading.
- Upload Hash Database — To upload a hash database, edit 'yourhlq.VERIMOVE.INSTALIB(UPLOAD)' as described above, setting "manifestmember" to "USPS" (or "USPSO" for an old style database). The upload may take several hours depending on the speed of your MVS system and your network connection.
- Upload the Single Flat File database — To upload the Single Flat File database, edit 'yourhlq.VERIMOVE.INSTALIB(UPLOADF)' in the same manner as for UPLOAD of a Hash database but includes additional variables to be replaced. Also, set "manifestmember" to "USPSF" (or "USPSFO" for an old style database).
- Upload the 26 Flat File A-Z database — To upload the 26 Flat File A-Z database, edit 'yourhlq.VERIMOVE.INSTALIB(UPLOADFZ)' in the same manner as for UPLOAD of a Hash database but includes additional variables to be replaced. Also, set "manifestmember" to "USPSFZ" (or "USPSFZO" for an old style database).

For performance evaluation, you may want to upload both the Single Flat File database and the 26 Flat File A-Z databases. Since they are both derived from the same DVD set, it is not necessary to load two completely separate databases.
If you have already used UPLOADF to upload the Single Flat File database, you may use UPLOADFZ to upload the 26 Flat File A-Z database setting "manifestmember" to "USPSFZF".
If you have already used UPLOADFZ to upload the 26 Flat File A-Z database, you may use UPLOADF to upload the Single Flat File database, setting "manifestmember" to "USPSFF".
The USPS database changed in July 31, 2006. The change is transparent to those running on platforms other than MVS. If you are still running an old version of the database, you need to upload using "manifestmember" being set to "USPSO", "USPSFO", and "USPSFZO".
