Hi,

in short: You can't.
There was a lot of discussion on ADSM-L 1 or 2 years ago.
The main reason you can't do this is the different encoding
scheme (ASCII vs. EBCDIC).
A lot of information in the db is in binary but all text fields
(filespace name ...) would create problems (backslash ...)

If you search the archive you find some propositions on how to
solve this problem (export/import nodes ...)

Betreff: Database migration from S/390 to AIX?


Hello,

just two short questions:

(1) Would it be possible to restore a database backup from a TSM server on
a S/390 mainframe to a TSM server on an AIX system?

and if the answer is 'yes'

(2) Could I read the tapes that were created from the TSM server on S/390
with the new TSM server on AIX (same drive type taken for granted)?

Or would I have to do an export of the database and/or the data?

TIA!

Mit freundlichen Grüßen,
Met vriendelijke groeten,
With best regards,
Bien amicalement,

CU/2,
