5.
Start FCU with the desired options (see “
NOTE:
If you specify the -nc option, FCU performs all specified operations continuously, then
self-terminates and displays any error information at the UNIX prompt.
6.
When the FCU main panel opens, make sure that the Volume File field displays the Data Exchange
volume definition file (datasetmount.dat). If the Data Exchange volume definition file is not
displayed (or if incorrect), FCU will not be able to perform Data Exchange operations.
7.
Make sure that the Parameter File field displays the desired FCU parameter definition file. If not,
enter the desired FCU parameter definition file name (with complete path if not in the current
directory), and select the File-Load command to open the file. To create a new file using the FCU
GUI, see “
Using the listvol Function (UNIX)
” on page 109 for instructions.
8.
The FCU main panel displays the first/next parameter set in the specified FCU parameter definition
file. To perform this Data Exchange operation, click OK. If not:
a.
You can load the next parameter set using the File-Load command.
b.
You can delete the current parameter set from the FCU parameter definition file using the
File-Delete command. The next parameter set loads automatically.
c.
You can modify the current parameter set as follows: Change the FCU parameters as needed,
and then use the File-Save command to save your changes in the FCU parameter definition
file (replaces the previously loaded parameter set).
d.
You can add a new parameter set to the end of the file as follows: Select File-Load until you
reach the end of the file, enter the desired parameters, and then select File-Save to add the
new line at the end. To insert a new line between existing lines, edit the FCU parameter
definition file later using a text editor.
9.
When the desired Data Exchange operation is displayed, click OK to start the operation. (If the
OK button is not enabled, you have not saved the current parameter set.)
10.
If you started an FXmto operation and the target file already exists, FCU requests overwrite
confirmation. Click OK to overwrite the target file, or click Cancel to cancel the operation.
11.
When FCU starts the operation, the Status field displays the progress of the operation. If desired,
while the operation is in progress, you can load another parameter set and click OK to start the
next operation right after the current operation completes.
NOTE:
Be careful when doing this. If you click buttons or menu commands while an operation is
in progress, FCU will save and execute those commands when the current operation
completes.
12.
When the Data Exchange operation is complete, the Status field displays Complete. If an error
occurred, the error information display opens automatically to display the error. See
on page 149 for further information on error conditions.
13.
FCU does not load the next operation automatically. To perform another Data Exchange operation,
select File-Load, and repeat steps (8) through (12). To exit FCU, select the File-Exit command.
