Moving data from a non-IBM system

 

You can copy files or tables to tape from the other system and load these files on the i5/OS^® operating system.

Use the Copy From Import File (CPYFRMIMPF) command to do this.

Vendor-independent communications functions are also supported through two separately licensed i5/OS programs.

Peer-to-peer connectivity functions for both local and wide area networks are provided by the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP). The File Transfer Protocol (FTP) function of the TCP/IP Connectivity Utilities for i5/OS licensed program allows you to receive many types of files, depending on the capabilities of the remote system.
