IBM's PDUU.

[BobP]

HI,

Is anyone out there using IBM's PDUU utility to upload diagnostic data to IBM?

This is a link to IBM's page on this: http://www-05.ibm.com/de/support/ecurep ... -tool.html

The z/OS Problem Documentation Upload Utility (IBM PDUU) uses an internal compression feature and offers (optional) file encryption. Use of additional file compression tools like AMATERSE is not necessary, nor recommended when using IBM PDUU. It is a parallel FTP utility that is designed to send z/OS documentation in a more efficient manner to IBM FTP sites. This utility break up the original file into multiple pieces that are processed in parallel. This can result in a significantly reduced elapsed time when transferring data to z/OS support, which may be an important consideration when dealing with critical outages.

If the system is running z/OS 1.13, see the MVS Diagnosis: Tools and Service Aids manual (PDF,3.38MB) for directions on how to use this IBM PDUU utility, e.g. AMAPDUPL module (go to chapter 18). For earlier releases, see the IBM z/OS Problem Documentation Upload Utility page for directions to install and use this utility (MTFTPS module).

Curious to know if others are using it or not? Is it well received by the various support groups within IBM? Please share your experience, if possible.

Got this example from the internet which has been used successfully. Will start from this:

Code: Select all

//FTP     EXEC PGM=AMAPDUPL
//SYSUDUMP DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSPRINT DD  SYSOUT=*
//SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=dump input
//SYSIN    DD  *
USERID=anonymous
PASSWORD=my email address
TARGET_SYS=testcase.boulder.ibm.com
TARGET_DSN=the remote file name
WORK_DSN=a valid temp dsn
CC_FTP=05
WORK_DSN_SIZE=5000
DIRECTORY=/toibm/im/
PMR=38836.082.000
