copyoss(8) OSS Shell and Utilities Reference Manual
NAME
copyoss - Copies the contents of pax archive files from the Guardian environment to the OSS file
system
SYNOPSIS
[ gtacl -c ´ ][$tsv.tsvsvl.]copyoss
[ ? |[filename | subvolname ] ... ]
[ ´ ]
gtacl -c ´ is a required prefix of this command for users of the OSS shell, but this prefix
must be omitted by users of the HP Tandem Advanced Command Language (TACL) com-
mand interpreter. Users of the OSS shell must end the command line with an apostrophe
(single quotation mark) (´), but this apostrophe must be omitted by users of TACL.
FLAGS
The copyoss command has the following operands:
$tsv.tsvsvl Specifies the disk volume and subvolume where the OSS product installation
files are located.
At many sites, COPYOSS is copied to $SYSTEM.ZOSSUTL.
? Requests the display of help text for the command.
This is the default used if no value is specified for filename or subvol.
filename Specifies the Guardian filename of the pax archive file whose content is to be
copied to the OSS file system. The specified file must have a file code of 0 or
180.
When copyoss is used from the OSS shell, filename should be fully qualified.
To avoid unexpected side effects, filename should be fully qualified when
COPYOSS is used from any subvolume other than ZOSSUTL. If you enter a
value for a Guardian file identifier that is not recognized as valid for a file in the
current subvolume, COPYOSS will try to interpret the value as a subvolume
name.
subvolname Specifies the Guardian subvolume name of the Guardian subvolume whose con-
tent is to be copied to the OSS file system. When subvolname is specified,
copyoss copies the content of all pax archives within the specified subvolume
unless their file identifiers begin with the reserved letters ZFB or ZPG.
When copyoss is used from the OSS shell, subvolname should be fully qualified.
DESCRIPTION
The copyoss command invokes a TACL routine that calls the Guardian pinstall utility. The
copyoss utility is present on your system only if, when you last installed the OSS product set, you
retained the target subvolume from the installation or copied the COPYOSS file to a known loca-
tion such as the $SYSTEM disk. In contrast, the pinstall utility is installed on the $SYSnn disk
and is always present on your system.
copyoss attempts to process only files with file codes of 0 or 180; other files within the subvo-
lume are ignored.
copyoss processes files within a subvolume in alphabetic order. If versions of archive files are
maintained within subvolname by the Distributed Systems Management/Software Configuration
Manager (DSM/SCM) product with Guardian file identifiers that begin with ZFB or ZPG, those
files are ignored by copyoss.
