ARSLOAD on a different system

[Greg Ira]

We're running an 8.4 instance on z/OS.  We've noticed in various documentation that it's shown that ARSLOAD can be run in a different system and use TCP/IP to connect with the library and object server.  Does anybody here run their systems this way?  We're trying to design something along this line and, while seeing reference to it, we're not seeing any actuall "how to's".  Problem is we're not trying to go from z/OS to z/OS but from a distributed environment to z/OS.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

We're running ARSLOAD from a z/Linux environment to load on a instance in z/OS.
what we did was to install CMOD on z/Linux, updated the ars.ini-file and then we could run the ARSLOAD on z/Linux to store doc on the instance running on z/OS

Terrific!  Thanks for replying  That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Another thing to keep in mind.
Sometimes you need to upgrade the both environments at the same time, since there are times when they need to be at the exact same level. AND you can't have a Distributed platform at V7 loading to a CMOD on z/OS at V8
