Fxmto With Multiple Volume Datasets; Fxmto With Variable-Length Records: Padding And Delimiters - HP StorageWorks P9000 User Manual

Figure 14 FXmto with Variable-Length Records: Padding and Delimiters
.
The resulting length of each data entity in a UNIX target file equals the maximum record length minus
3 bytes (minus 4 for the RL, plus 1 for the delimiter). The resulting length of each data entity in a
Windows target file equals the maximum record length minus 2 bytes (minus 4 for the RL, plus 2 for
the delimiter).

FXmto with Multiple Volume Datasets

Multiple Volume Dataset is supported only for FXmto, when the version is 01-XX-50/YY (XX = 01, 02,
03, or 04) or later. Table 4 on page 31 Illustrates this.
NOTE:
Multiple Volume Dataset is not supported for FXotm. A multiple volume definition file (multidef.dat)
is necessary in current directory. FAL will check the dataset serial number, dataset serial number and
last volume containing data in this dataset in dataset indicators on VTOC DSCB1.
NOTE:
Multiple Volume Dataset is supported for FXotm when the version is 01-XX-60/YY (XX = 02, 03, or
04) or later.
NOTE:
For Windows 2000/2003, you should not write a signature on shared volumes, which are 3390-3X,
3390-9X, 3390-LX, 3380-KX, or 3380-3X (X = A, B, or C). If you try to write a signature on the
shared volumes, Data Exchange cannot guarantee that the volumes will be shared with other OSes
(AIX, Solaris, HP-UX, Tru64, Linux, and so on). When you use a shared volume with Windows
2000/2003 only, Data Exchange will perform correctly if you write a signature on the shared volumes.
(A write error message will appear in the System log, but this will not have a negative influence on
Data Exchange operation.)
