The file transfer process involves using a translation utility, S6BBRNLS/hrnbrnls, that changes the character fields in row occurrences from one code page representation to another. The procedure is as follows:
Define the input file by using the BATCHLOAD_CARDS tool to create a control file. For more information on this tool, refer to
TIBCO Object Service Broker Shareable Tools. The control file can also be created manually using a text editor.
When building the control file, there are several considerations that should be taken into account. For more information, refer to the S6BBRNLS/hrnbrnls utility as described in
TIBCO Object Service Broker for z/OS Utilities or
TIBCO Object Service Broker for Open Systems Utilities.
Using the control file, run S6BBRNLS/hrnbrnls against the input file. For detailed information on the S6BBRNLS/hrnbrnls utility, refer to
TIBCO Object Service Broker for z/OS Utilities or
TIBCO Object Service Broker for Open Systems Utilities.
As part of the process, an audit log file is produced. This file is an activity report containing information and warning and error messages as well as run statistics. Always inspect this report before using the output file in another process. Should you encounter problems requiring TIBCO Support services, the audit log is always be required (either hardcopy or file).
If S6BBRNLS/hrnbrnls indicates that translation changed the sequence of the translated file, a sort is necessary before the file can be loaded using S6BBRTBL/hrnbrtbl. If no sort is available on Windows or Solaris, you must translate the file on the z/OS platform and sort it prior to using File Transfer Protocol (FTP) to move the file back to Windows or Solaris.
