Chapter 3. Operating NetView FTP V2.2.1 MVS - IBM

Migrating NetView FTP V2.1 MVS to NetView FTP V2.2 MVS
When migrating from NetView FTP V2.1 MVS to NetView FTP V2.2 MVS, be aware
of the following:
� You can use the same NetView FTP MVS batch jobs and application programs.
However, new file-transfer requests should be set up using the NetView FTP
V2.2 MVS control statements. It is recommended that you recompile the application
programs with a macro library that contains the APL macro source. For
more information on the NetView FTP V2.2 MVS control statements, refer to
the NetView FTP Parameter Reference.
� Requests that were created and saved via the interactive interface of NetView
FTP V2.1 MVS can be migrated via the Convert option in the Main Task
Selection of the NetView FTP V2.2 MVS interactive interface.
� The keyword for specifying the requeue delay time has been changed to
RETRYDELAY.
The keyword REQDELAY is supported for migration purposes only.
� The control statement for requesting traces has been changed to
TRACE=value. For a description of the new values refer to “Activating the
Trace Facility” on page 137.
The keyword TRC is supported for migration purposes only.
� You can use the same user-written exit routines. However, you should recompile
the exit routines with a macro library that includes the Application Program
Parameter List (APL) macro source.
� You can use the same user-written file-handler routines. However, you should
recompile the file-handler routines with a macro library that includes the User-
Written File-Handler Parameter List (UPL) macro source.
� You must define a new request queue.
� You must define a new checkpoint data set.
� For some SNA server initialization parameters the default values have been
changed.
� For some queue handler initialization parameters the default values have been
changed.
� The Server Group Table can still be used.
� File transfers to locations where NetView FTP V1 MVS or FTP V2 is installed
are no longer supported.
� Additions to the SMF product section or data section are appended to avoid
changes of SMF record processing programs.
