File Transfer of Job Variables

Job variables cannot be transferred directly to another system with FT-BS2000 or RDAC. However, if CFS is installed on both the sending and receiving systems, then it is possible to transfer Job variables from one to the other.

The following sequence of events should be performed:

a) On the source system, the required Job variables should be saved to a file (so-called Listcat file) with an ONXLISTCAT file Variable Action. LISTCAT saves the catalog entry details, as well as the Job variable contents.

b) This Listcat file can then be transferred as normal to the target system with FT-BS2000/RDAC.

c) On the target system, the Listcat file should be processed with the CFS command RECAT: RECAT file,CJ.

This command will recreate the catalog entry and the original data content of the Job variable on the target system.
