IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS PDS Copy Report

The IBM® Sterling Connect:Direct® for z/OS® PDS Copy Report provides information for each COPY step involving the PDS data set to PDS data set transfer.

Following is an example of the IBM Sterling Connect:Direct for z/OS PDS Copy Report.

This report lists all PDS COPY step transmissions by Process number for a specified time period. It lists sending data set members names with each destination data set member name.

The accuracy of the data in this report is not guaranteed if you restart IBM Connect:Direct using the TCQ=COLD initialization parameter during the time period specified. ARS uses the Process number in the statistics file to match PDS member names with a specific COPY step. Because a COLD restart begins numbering Processes from 1, ARS may not associate PDS member names correctly with the appropriate PDS Copy step.

The following table describes the report fields.
