Migrating Structured File Server data
Migrate the Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) data files from Structured File Server (SFS).
On the source system, complete the following task:
Export the VSAM data files to a flat file on the operating system’s file system. Use the
cicssdt tool to export the files. The tool exports both the VSAM data file
definition and all of its records to the flat file. For more information about using
cicssdt, see cicssdt - SFS diagnostic tool.
Tip: You can use the cicsddt (for Db2) and cicsodt (for
Oracle) tools if your VSAM data files are under either of these databases. For more information
about using these tools, see cicsddt - DB2 diagnostic tool and cicsodt - Oracle diagnostic tool.
On the target system, complete the following task:
Transfer the flat files <filename>.sdt to the target system and import the transferred flat files by using the ftos command.
