VSAM Files

CA XCOM Data Transport supports three access methods: QSAM, BPAM (for partitioned data sets), and VSAM. For VSAM, it supports the key-sequenced data set (KSDS), entry-sequenced data set (ESDS), and relative record data set (RRDS) file types.

Note: Because of VSAM limitations, the CA XCOM Data Transport checkpoint/restart facility is not supported for ESDS files. For KSDS and RRDS files, CA XCOM Data Transport supports checkpoint/restart only for file transfers using REPLACE as the specified File Option.
