Accessing z/OS Data with Distributed FileManager/MVS

Distributed FileManager/MVS enables users on authorized client systems to remotely access data on z/OS server systems as if the data were local to the users. Users can remotely perform such tasks as creating, reading, updating, and deleting z/OS data sets using local commands. Because DDM clients and servers communicate through common DDM commands, users on the client systems do not need to use z/OS command language.

Distributed FileManager/MVS allows client systems to access the following data set types on z/OS server systems:
  • Physical sequential data sets
  • VSAM data sets
  • PDSE and PDS members
