When uploading data to IBM, a user might need to user an IBMid, Transfer ID, or Blue Diamond ID. Information regarding the use of those IDs can be found here:

Step 2 Accessing the "Store FTP2IBMCMD Credentials" function

The main QMGTOOLS menu, GO QMGTOOLS/MG, has the "Store FTP2IBM Credentials" menu option. In the following example, the option is Option 25.

You can also use the command, QMGTOOLS/STORFTPPWD, to access the function also.

When storing this information, an encrypted data area is used to store the contents. That data area is FTP2IBMCMD in QMGTOOLS. This data area can be moved to a different system with the same release of QMGTOOLS and be used.

Step 3 Using the stored password.

When using the menu option "FTP data to IBM" from the QMGTOOLS main menu or the command, QMGTOOLS/FTP2IBMCMD, put in *STORED in the IBM/BD ID field and leave the password parameter blank.
