Hi All!
Is it possible to EXPORT client data from an OS390 Server to a Unix Server?
The Tivoli docs all seem to say yes -- provided that the target Server is
running the same or newer Server level code.
However, a hardware vendor pointed out to me that this may not be possible:
If the OS390 Server writes the EXPORT data to MVS tape devices in either
EBCDIC or ASCII format, the target Server may not be able to read the tapes
for the IMPORT. Because the target Server is configured with SCSI-attached
devices, the data on the tapes must also be in SCSI format, otherwise the
target Server will not be able to read them.
Any truth to this theory?
Thanks, in advance.
