CMOD for z/OS v10.5 load server

(1/2) > >>

michaelprouse:
is it possible to load from CMOD for z/OS v10.5 to CMOD for MP v10.1 (yes, we know v10.1 is out of support - in process of upgrading).  Received conflicting info and want clarification.

Ed_Arnold:
(Every disclaimer in the book here)

I think it should work.

The reason is that between 10.1 and 10.5 the underlying table defs haven't changed.

I haven't tested it, nor am I in a position to test.

Nolan:
I don't know if that is possible.   You asking about loading data or dragging and dropping AG/APP defs?

If you are talking about loading data, I would think there would be many challenges to set it up.   Running ARSLOAD on Z/OS pointing to MP doesn't seam like something it can handle?  You would update the ars.ini for the MP server name but security could be a challenge.

I think you need to move the data to the MP server and perform the load there, IMHO.

Update the post if you get it working, I am curious if it is possible since we always move the data from Z/OS to MP and then load.

michaelprouse:
It’s done today - using CMOD z/OS v9.5 as load server to CMOD MP v10.1.  Want to upgrade z/OS CMOD to v10.5 before upgrading the MP version. It should work. Just wanted some consensus for management

Justin Derrick:
Generally speaking, client software (arsdoc/arsload/windows clients) works with at least x-1 -- so unless you're doing something exotic, a simple load from one server to another should work.

Since IBM isn't willing to guarantee/support this cross-version functionality, your only alternative is to test it thoroughly in your dev region.
