Use the command line utility to perform compare or synchronization without having to load the user interface.
You can run the utility directly from the command prompt, or add commands to a batch file, then use a scheduler to run the batch file.
Syntax:
>>-MFMON2--.--------.--.-BOTH-----.--.----------.--.-QSAM-.--local-dir->
+-TEXT---+ +-UPLOAD---+ +-prefix-*-+ +-PDS--+
+-BINARY-+ +-DOWNLOAD-+ +-END--+
+-MONITOR--+ +-KSDS-+
>-AGAINST-data-set--.---------------.-.------------.-.---------------.->
+-TYPE=mem-type-+ +-STATUS=xxx-+ +-EXT=extension-+
>-.----------------.---<<
+-REGEXT_ALLOW=Y-+
Where:
- prefix
- The filter to use to select files and members. By default, * selects all.
- local-dir
- The directory on the workstation
- data-set
- The data set on the mainframe
- TYPE=mem-type
- The type of member contained in an Endevor, Panvalet or Librarian container.
- STATUS=xxx
- The status of Panvalet members
- EXT=extension
- The extension to give each synchronized member on the workstation
- REGEXT_ALLOW=Y
- Allows the prefix to be in the format of a regular expression.
Comments:
To ensure the utility can connect to the mainframe without user intervention, set the MFA_SERVER_PARMS environment variable and the MFDAS SETUSER command at the head of your batch file, or from the command line. For example:
SET MFA_SERVER_PARMS=MFSRV:mf01,MFNODE:mf01.docs.com,MFPORT:1234
MFDAS SETUSER usr1 pass1
