Some sites do not have dfdss. A common non-SMPE method is to use the XMIT command to convert each library into a sequential file, copy all of these XMIT datasets into a PDS and then run XMIT again to convert the PDS into a sequential file. To unpack you run RECEIVE to create the PDS of XMIT files then RECEIVE again for each member.
Or you could create a Portable Software Instance using an SMPE utility - this can be unpacked using z/OSMF (which runs an SMPE utility). > On 23 Aug 2023, at 07:52, Colin Paice <colinpai...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Ive blogged > <https://colinpaice.blog/2021/01/08/how-to-backup-only-key-data-sets-on-z-os/> > about using DFDSS to backup datasets. > You may then want to use AMATERSE to terse it. > > I have some JCL to restore an MQ package > //S1 EXEC PGM=AMATERSE,PARM=UNPACK > //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* > //SYSUT1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=COLIN.MQ933.TRS > //SYSUT2 DD DSN=&&TEMP,SPACE=(CYL,(100,100)),DISP=(,PASS), > // VOL=SER=(C4USS2,C4USS1),UNIT=3390,STORCLAS=SCNOSMS > > //S2 EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=0M > //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* > //DD1 DD DISP=SHR,DSN=*.S1.SYSUT2 > //SYSIN DD * > RESTORE - > IMPORT - > INDDNAME(DD1) - > CANCELERROR - > DATASET(INCLUDE(**)) - > RENAMEU( - > (**.SCSQANLC,COLIN.MQ930.SCSQANLC) - > ... > (**.SCSQTBLU,COLIN.MQ930.SCSQTBLU) - > ) - > SHARE - > NULLMGMTCLAS - > NULLSTORCLAS - > CATALOG > //* > > This is soooo much easier than trying to use SMP/E > > Colin > >> On Wed, 23 Aug 2023 at 07:30, Jon Perryman <jperr...@pacbell.net> wrote: >> >> Since you don't have a good understanding of SMP/e, you might want to >> consider DFDSS instead of SMP/e. >> Creating a function is the easy part.
