Doh! (slapping forehead) You're doing it with a single control group. I
was thinking 2 separate control groups with the first restricted.

All I have to do in that CL is start the controlling subsystem, right? Do
you put a delay in that CL to give it some time after the STRSBS is run?
I've still got my "restore system to normal state" program from years ago
when I didn't have BRMS and that's what I did.

The control group calls the CLP program via *EXITs. Now just start the
console monitor, submit the BRMS job to *CONSOLE and stand back.

Thanks, Jim.

How do you do that with a CL program, when restricted state gets
involved?

What I mean is this. We have the Advanced Job Scheduler, which is used
to
do the restricted state backups. The AJS job command is:

STRBKUBRM CTLGRP(FULLWTHSYS) SBMJOB(*CONSOLE)

Are you saying you replaced that with CALL MYCLPGM and it did it all? As
in that CL program has 2 STRBKUBRM commands in it? That can't be, I
don't
think, because restricted state will kill your CL program. And you're
much
smarter than that so I'm obviously not understanding something.:)

Jeff,

The main concern with save while active on an *ALLUSR is when you use
any synch point except *LIB. *SYNCLIB and *SYSDFN may take a LONG
time
to reach a synchronization point with all of the libraries on the
system.

If you use *LIB as the save while active synchronization point you
should not have any issues, I do it all the time.

I also use the technique you mention with two control groups, one for
restricted state for what ever is needed there, then bring the system
back up for use and start a save while active on the other libraries.

I use a control language program to do it so I can manage the shut
down
and start up properly.
