4. Use the FTP client to obtain the RSU envelopes from the Internet. The envelope files can
be large, so this may take some time. We recommend that you rename the file type from
BIN to SERVLINK using FTP, because this is the file type that the SERVICE command
expects. As you are downloading the files, note the file sizes. Following is an example.
==> ftp ptf.boulder.ibm.com
ftp> <owte8a>
ftp> <h2q9nep9>
ftp> cd </390777166/c568411202>
ftp> ascii
ftp> get ftp7166.txt
ftp> binary f 1024
ftp> get rlst7166.bin rlst8476.servlink
...
10240 bytes transferred in 0.523 seconds. Transfer rate 19.58 Kbytes/sec
ftp> get rptf0166.bin rptf0176.servlink
...
36944896 bytes transferred in 191.632 seconds. Transfer rate 192.79 Kbytes/sec.
ftp> get rptf0266.bin rptf0276.servlink
...
26028032 bytes transferred in 132.353 seconds. Transfer rate 196.66 Kbytes/sec.
ftp> get rptf0366.bin rptf0376.servlink
...
52193280 bytes transferred in 269.094 seconds. Transfer rate 193.96 Kbytes/sec.
ftp> quit
You should now have the service or envelope files on your z/VM system.
5. The envelope files arrive in a compressed format to speed downloads. To use them, they
must first be uncompressed with the DETERSE command. Use the (REPLACE parameter to
uncompress them in place and save disk space:
==> deterse rlst7166 servlink a = = = (replace
==> deterse rptf0166 servlink a = = = (replace
==> deterse rptf0266 servlink a = = = (replace
==> deterse rptf0366 servlink a = = = (replace
6. Use the BROWSE command to read the RSU information. Compare the byte count that you
recorded earlier with the values in this file.
==> browse ftp7166 txt

Note: If you did not rename the file names during the FTP session, you can use the
CMS RENAME command. Type HELP RENAME for help.
