The CONNECT:Direct Method

CONNECT:Direct (formerly known as Network Data Mover or NDM) runs a batch job that copies data sets from a host site to a remote destination and runs the job there. CA Endevor SCM provides sample JCL relating to CONNECT:Direct. You need to modify this sample JCL with site-specific information about CONNECT:Direct.

The NDVRSHIP jobstep (in skeleton C1BMXJOB) creates an CONNECT:Direct Process File containing a single process for each CONNECT:Direct destination. The member name of each process is "destid.P". The member contains the following commands:

• A COPY command for each file you wish to transmit.
• A RUN JOB command to execute the remote copy/delete job.
• A RUN JOB command to delete the host staging data sets for that destination.

You can find the JCL and control cards for the staging data set deletion in the process file as member(s) "destid.D". A single member "SUBMIT" contains a CONNECT:Direct SUBMIT command for each of the process members. The jobstep associated with C1BMXNDM uses the "SUBMIT" member to execute the shipment. The Process File is deleted after all processes have been submitted.

CA Endevor SCM distributes model CONNECT:Direct control statements in the CSIQOPTN library as members whose names start with #PSNWDM. In general you do not want to modify these models.

You can find additional information about CONNECT:Direct in the Product Overview. The Batch Interface is documented in the CONNECT:Direct User's Guide. Syntax for CONNECT:Direct commands can be found in the CONNECT:Direct Command Reference.
