Use the PDUU as the primary utility for sending large volumes of
documentation, such as stand-alone dumps, to the IBM® FTP site. The encryption capability ensures
that the transfer occurs in a secure manner. AMATERSE is useful for
compressing (packing) and unpacking relatively small amounts of service
data, but is incompatible with PDUU (output and input), and offers
no data transfer capability. If you have previously used the PDUU,
shipped as the MTFTPS stand-alone program from
,
you must understand the following changes made to package the PDUU
utility as part of z/OS®:
- The PDUU utility name is AMAPDUPL; however, MTFTPS ships as an
alias entry point to AMAPDUPL.
- AMAPDUPL resides in SYS1.MIGLIB (which must be a data set in the
LNKLST concatenation), so a STEPLIB DDNAME is not necessary to invoke
AMAPDUPL.
- AMA messages are described in z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 1 (ABA-AOM).
