Somebody out there using this product, and can help me?

We are extracting data to tape in one Lpar and trying to use that file as input (insert) in another Lpar

The Tape-dataset is registred in the "directory" in From-lpar

When trying to use that i the Target-lpar it cannot be allocated, and then we are trying to "EXTRACT_IMPORT" that file into the directory in the target-lpar, but...

Select all

DIR TYPE EXT NAME %

Were there any operating system messages? Was the tape catalogued on the target LPAR? Was there a tape unit available to it?

The tape files are "Shared" and visible in all Lpars and can be "read" everywhere

And one more thing, I can use the "extract_import" function from within the Product.

Part of the problem solved, MUST use batch when dealing with Tape

(I don't know if moderator is willing to have this topic in this forum, pls tell me if not)

But now another problem regaring this. (I cant find anything in the manuales about this)

I have to "IMPORT" the Tape-files into the target-directory to be able to use them in target Lpar

We are using the Convert function in the product to de-identify persons, that is done in "from" Lpar were we create a "converted" extract file on Tape.
When trying to "Import" that file in target we have an error saying
