PIPEDDR EXECThis exec is somewhat mis-named, because it does not dump and restore in DDR format but uses PIPE's TRACKREAD and TRACKWRITE stages. This exec will dump a disk into a regular CMS file to allow sending the data over the network. The CMS file can also be compressed, saving disk space. The exec will also restore the file back to the same or a different disk. The compression method supported is pack. Pack creates a file that is compatible with the PACK option of the CMS COPYFILE command. A file created by this exec has the disk information in the first record (size and device type) and the contents of the disk in the rest. The disk can also be dumped over a TCP/IP connection directly to a receiving PIPEDDR exec running on a remote system or to a file on an FTP server. A file can be restored from an FTP server or an HTTP (web) server. Also, dump to and restore from a tape is supported by using the TAPE option and the same operations using a CMS filedef using the FILEDEF option. PIPEDDR requires the Princeton Runtime Distribution level of Pipelines at version 110B0004 (15 May 2002 level) or later. It uses the PICKPIPE EXEC to load this level if it is needed. PICKPIPE is also available via the VM download library. See the PICKPIPE description or get the VMARC file. The FTP option requires either the INSTPIPE MODULE from a modern version of CMS (found on MAINT 2CC or MAINT 193) or the DRPC MODULE from the DRPC package on the VM download library. See the DRPC description or get the VMARC file. The FTP option can also use a NETRC DATA file stored anywhere in the search order. This file can supply a password or a userid and password for the connection, so that the password would not be hardcoded into an exec or displayed on the console. The exec also has a TERSE option, but it can only be used if the TERSE Pipelines stage is available. This allows the exec to create output files that are smaller or send less data over the network. The TERSE Pipelines stage is not available outside of IBM, but a standalone terse function is available as part of the FCOPY package on the VM download library. See the FCOPY description or get the VMARC file and extract the FCOPYTRS MODULE. This module will allow you to terse the output file created by PIPEDDR. A help file is included in the package. Enter HELP PIPEDDR for usage information.
Feedback: Bruce Hayden Linux on System z Advanced Technical Support Some examples of how to use PIPEDDR. To dump a minidisk to a file with the default name: PIPEDDR DUMP MAINT 19E This creates a file named MAINT DISK019E A To dump the same disk to a different filemode: PIPEDDR DUMP MAINT 19E = = E (PACK To restore the file to the same disk: PIPEDDR RESTORE MAINT 19E To restore the file to a different disk and skip the prompt: PIPEDDR RESTORE CMSUSER 191 MAINT DISK019E A (NOPROMPT To send an entire minidisk over the network On the receiving node, enter: PIPEDDR RESTORE MAINT 19E (LISTEN This will display the port number it is using. To force the port to 12345: PIPEDDR RESTORE MAINT 19E 12345 (LISTEN On the sending system use (where The connection should be made and the disk sent over.
Note that PACK is the default for remote connections.
To send a minidisk to a file named maint.disk019e on an ftp server:
To restore a minidisk from file disk.dump on an ftp server, and skip
the prompt, either of these commands can be used:
To do the same thing but from an http server:
Note that disks dumped via ftp are always stored in packed format.
