Installing the Daily Delete File - VeriMove - 4.0

USPS regulations require all NCOA^Link licensees to use the Daily Delete File. Licensees must download and install this file daily. To install the Daily Delete file, follow these steps.

1. Browse to the location where you installed VeriMove and go to the Utilities subfolder. For example, C:\PB\VeriMove\Utilities.
2. Download the Daily Delete file. The Daily Delete file is available from the USPS Electronic Product Fulfillment (EPF) website at https://epf.usps.gov:
   • You can use the getFileHTTPs.exe utility to download the Daily Delete file. However, the getFileHTTPS.exe utility:
     • Can only be used to download files from the USPS https://epf.usps.gov secured website.
     • Only downloads the most current version of the USPS file requested.
     • Is only available for the Windows platform.

       For more information on using the getFileHTTPs.exe utility, see Chapter 8, Utilities in your VeriMove User's Guide. Note the following:

   • Windows, Unix, and Linux users should download the ASCII version of the Daily Delete file.
   • z/OS and IBM i users should download the EBCDIC version of the file.
3. If you run VeriMove jobs on Unix, Linux, or a remote Windows system, follow these steps:
   1. Start an FTP session with your execution platform
   2. FTP the files in binary mode to a directory that VeriMove can access.
4. If you run VeriMove on z/OS, follow these steps:
   1. Modify the UPLOAD JCL included in the yourhlq.VERIMOVE.INSTALIB library from the VeriMove installation media. See the comments in the JCL for the necessary modifications. In particular, set ‘manifestmember' to DAILY.
   2. On the Windows computer, open a command prompt.
   3. Change to the location where you installed VeriMove. For example, C:\PB\VeriMove.
   4. Execute UploadServer.exe. Before the database can be uploaded to an MVS system, you must run UploadServer on the PC where the 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 appears 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 kill the UploadServer.
   5. Execute the UPLOAD job on your z/OS system.
5. Alternative to running UPLOAD JCL, the MFftp process can be used for the Daily Delete. See readme.docs in the windows installed Utilities\MFftp folder for details.
6. The Daily Delete header (dhdr.txt) file must also be included in the same folder as the Daily Delete file (dailydel.txt) for either the UPLOAD or FTP method transfer.
