Transporting VM Accounting Data to a Guest System

To execute the VM Interface under z/OS, the raw VM accounting data must reside on a storage medium accessible by z/OS. Most data centers institute a procedure to process the data from the reader, thereby creating a file. The file containing the data must be transported to z/OS where the VM Interface can process it. The following are examples of job streams that execute IBM utility programs, which can be used to facilitate transporting the data. These examples can be created and modified by using the XEDIT facility.

For z/OS users:

//VMIJOB JOB ,??????,CLASS=?,MSGCLASS=?
//STEP01 EXEC PGM=IEBGENER
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=.
//SYSUT2 DD DSN=VMI.ACCT.RAW.DATA,
//   DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),
//   DCB=(RECFM=F,LRECL=80,BLKSIZE=80),
//   SPACE=(80,(2000,100)),
//   UNIT=SYSDA,
//   VOL=SER=??????
//SYSUT1 DD DATA,DLM=')('
***===> Insert Your VM Accounting Data Here <===**.
)(
//SYSIN DD DUMMY,DCB=BLKSIZE=80

The FTP utility, XMIT/RECEIVE, or another file transfer utility can be substituted.
