FTP tape dataset in chunks
Posted: Wed Apr 22, 2015 11:36 am
Hi
My requirement is to FTP a mainframe tape dataset to Linux server. The tape dataset has 400 million records. Is it possible to send the data in chunks, say 100,000 records, as one chunk and next 100,000 records as another chunk? The file at the receiving end will have Acct.Part.1, Acct.Part.2 etc as the file name for each of the chunks. This is to enable parallel processing. Also is there an option to specify a wait period as input. This is the time the process on mainframe waits before sending the next chunk.
Kindly let me know if my requirement is not clear.
Thanks
