What is the primary function of DataVantage AdVisEr?
DataVantage AdVisEr allows users to access and manipulate mainframe datasets from a Windows environment. It supports features like dataset browsing, editing, and data transfer between platforms.
What types of mainframe datasets does DataVantage AdVisEr support?
DataVantage AdVisEr supports standard mainframe dataset types, including sequential datasets (PS), partitioned datasets (PDS), and VSAM datasets. It handles fixed and variable record formats.
How does DataVantage AdVisEr facilitate data transfer between mainframe and Windows environments?
Data transfer is facilitated through a client-server architecture. The Windows client communicates with a server component on the mainframe, which handles data access and transfer using standard mainframe protocols.
Where are the configuration files located?
DataVantage AdVisEr uses configuration files to define connection parameters to the mainframe, dataset naming conventions, and user-specific settings. These files are typically located on the Windows client machine.
