FTP the Files to the Target z/OS System

Use the load library that matches your CICS version:

• For CICS Version 3.2, use iTKOCICSAgentLoadCICS32
• For CICS Version 4.1, use iTKOCICSAgentLoadCICS41
• For CICS Version 4.2, use iTKOCICSAgentLoadCICS42
• For CICS Version 5.1, use iTKOCICSAgentLoadCICS51
• For CICS Version 5.2, use iTKOCICSAgentLoadCICS52

A simple method to determine your version of CICS is to run the following transaction and check the value of CICSTslevel. CICSTslevel has the version/release/maintenance level in the format vvrrmm: CECI INQUIRE SYSTEM CICSTslevel.

The files iTKOCICSAgentLoadCICSvvv and iTKOCICSAgentCntl are FTP’d to the target z/OS system in binary mode with the z/OS attributes indicated in the example that follows.

The following example of command-line FTP shows the proper transfer to z/OS of distribution files data sets iTKOCICSAgentCntl and iTKOCICSAgentLoadCICS42 to z/OS data sets ITKO.CICSAGNT.CNTL.UNLOAD and ITKO.CICSAGNT.LOAD.UNLOAD. You can change the /OS file names for your data set naming conventions.
