Re: Rép. : Option 21 Save - QSTRUPPGM

This way that I handled all this was to write what I called a Console
Monitor.

You log on as user CONSOLEMON and the console monitor sits and waits for
commands to arrive from the job scheduler and than executes the requested
command so it is completely unattended and it is designed to be secure.

Since the requested commands execute a program you can have the program do
anything you want it to do.

I have a zip with all the source code and objects @ V5R2M0 level,
documentation and sample programs if you are interested.

There are 2 things you could do:

First, as was suggested by someone else, change the start up program to
*NONE before doing the option 21 and reset it before doing the IPL.

Second, instead of doing 3 full saves, do just one and the dulicate the
tape (DUPTAP command).

HI All,

On a monthly basis we run a full system (option 21) save and IPL our
system. To do this, we have an operator who manually brings the system into
a restricted state, goes to the save menu and executes option 21. As part
of the option 21, when the save completes, it starts the controlling
subsystem which then executes the qstruppgm. As I mentioned earlier, we IPL
the system after the save finishes but our operator is having to wait for
the system to start, then end back to a restricted state before he can IPL
the system. It's been awhile since I have been through the option 21 save
options, and I've done some reading online, but there doesn't appear to be
an option to bypass the startup. Can anyone suggest a way around this?

Also, we are preparing for our DR test this December and want to execute 3
consecutive option 21 saves (2 to send to out DR partner, 1 to keep). As
you can image, if the system starts after each one it would add a lot of
time to this procedure. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Thanks,

David Charmatz
