MVS or z/OS

Protecting sensitive data is a growing concern for companies worldwide. As a result of customer requirements, concerns and recent events in which security has been compromised, businesses are proactively focusing on securing customer and business data.

IBM offers a new z/OS FTP utility available for IBM clients to send documentation (large data sets) in a more efficient manner to IBM FTP sites.

This z/OS mtftps module has been developed and is supported by IBM z/OS lab.

It is a single tool to provide all the functions required to send PMR related documentation to IBM. In-line hardware compression minimizes processor and I/O time compared to software compression.

Optional encryption:
z/OS Problem Documentation Upload Utility optionally uses 192 bit 3DES hardware encryption (z890/z990 systems or higher). We strongly recommend the usage of this feature instead of the former available e-Garda modules.

Installation and usage:
ftp://ftp.software.ibm.com/s390/mvs/tools/mtftp/

As a result of security requirements and concerns IBM will discontinue the use of the old IBM MVS encryption programs (e-Garda module).
