Mainframe NCOA data FTP process
An FTP transfer process has been created to replace the socket transfer used by the
mainframe UPLOAD program. There is JCL to allocate the necessary NCOA files on the
mainframe, scripts to modify and transfer the data to the mainframe using FTP (or
FTPS), and JCL to load the NCOA VSAM files with the transferred data.
- The scripts and JCL are found in the windows install under the Utilities\MFftp folder.
- The document readme.docx explains the new FTP process for transferring NCOA files to the mainframe.
- Increased security measures have prevented the socket data transfer used by UPLOAD from working properly at all locations. The socket UPLOAD process can still be used, but will no longer be supported. If issues are encountered with UPLOAD, then the FTP process should be used.
- New required DD for MU JCL for the daily delete header
//DLYHDR DD DISP=SHR,DSN=yourhlq.yourUspsData.SEQ.DLYHDRThis file must be located in the same directory as the daily delete file for the Mainframe transfer processes to pick it up.
