Input/Output Configuration Program (IOCP) [4] [5] [6] is a program for IBM mainframes that compiles a description of the Channel Subsystem and LPAR [7] configuration, optionally loading it into an Input/Output Configuration Data Set (IOCDS); it recognizes the syntax of MVS Configuration Program (MVSCP) [8] input, and there is no need to ...
Connect:Direct file transfers can be done in two formats: Binary mode (where no translation occurs) or in a mode where translation is used to convert an ASCII file to EBCDIC as it is moved to a mainframe or vice versa. These conversions are handled automatically based on the local systems, which is a significant concern with other file transfer ...
IEFBR14 is an IBM mainframe utility program. It runs in all IBM mainframe environments derived from OS/360, including z/OS. It is a placeholder that returns the exit status zero, similar to the true command on UNIX-like systems. [1]
Record Management Services (RMS) are procedures in the VMS, RSTS/E, RT-11 and RSX-11M operating systems that programs may call to process files and records within files. [1] [2] Its file formats and procedures are similar to of those in some IBM access methods [a] for several of its mainframe computer operating systems [b] and by other vendors for file and record management.
Virtual Storage Access Method (VSAM) [1] is an IBM direct-access storage device (DASD) file storage access method, first used in the OS/VS1, OS/VS2 Release 1 (SVS) and Release 2 (MVS) operating systems, later used throughout the Multiple Virtual Storage (MVS) architecture and now in z/OS.
In the early 1990s a popular solution to link PCs with the mainframes was the Irma board, an expansion card that plugged into a PC and connected to the controller through a coaxial cable. 3270 simulators for IRMA and similar adapters typically provide file transfers between the PC and the mainframe using the same protocol as the IBM 3270 PC.

The System/34 could either swap out entire programs, or individual segments of a program in order to free up memory for other programs to run. One of the machine's most distinctive features was an off-line storage mechanism that utilized " magazines "—boxes of 8-inch floppies that the machine could load and eject in a nonsequential fashion.
There are two main config files for XFB (AXway File Broker) namely locpart.smp and chkusr.txt. locpart.smp stores the destination server's IP address, protocol intended, port to be used and other such information. TCP and FTP are the basic protocols used here. The file chkusr.txt contains information specific to authorization and proxy.
