Planning to use PDUU

Use PDUU as the primary utility for sending large volumes of documentation, such as stand-alone dumps, to the IBM® site.

When using HTTPS mode, PDUU uses virtual storage to buffer requests instead of DASD data sets. The requesting AMAPDUPL job must have access to enough private virtual storage to satisfy the request. Please refer to the discussion of the WORK_SIZE parameter for details.

If you have previously used the MTFTPS stand-alone tool program (before z/OS V1R13), 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).
