Re: Revolver Issue

Pat,

What this tells me is that your FTP batch must operate in the "z/OS UNIX"
environment since only there can /etc/hosts be in the search order for the
"local host table".

Note however that, should this not be found, the x.HOST.xxxxINFO files will
be used. Of course, you've got the be clear about the "x". (I'm assuming
NOCOMMONSEARCH and IPV4.)

This is surprising since only TSO FTP is supposed to use the "z/OS UNIX"
environment while FTP (batch) - rather puzzlingly under the header
"Communications Server TSO commands" - is supposed to use the "MVS"
environment.

Also rather disconcertingly, the lists towards the end of section 1.2.8.2,
"Resolver configuration files", are described as "examples". It's as if the
authors have given up trying to explain and suggest the use of the "trace
resolver facility" to work out which environment the address space is
operating under.

Is there anyone who can shed some more light on this FTP client
"environment" issue?

I'm trying to setup a default revolver using Local Hosts file on MVS.
When using FTP under TSO it's able to find the Server name, but if I try
a batch job it does not locate the same Server name.
What do I need to code in the JCL to locate the correct Server using
Local Hosts?

You may not need anything in your JCL. Very recently I took a resolver
trace of a batch FTP and was surprised to see it used the Unix hosts defs
rather than the MVS HOSTS defs. Make sure that your /ect/hosts contains
the same info as your HOST.xxxxINFO datasets.
