Re: MAPICS backup

["Hans Koens" <hkoens@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pete,



What do you mean with putting the Mapics Backup to the AS400 job scheduler?

Within Mapics (We use rel. 6) you can't schedule more than 14 day's ahead.

Is there away to avoid that?

We use the PRE en POST backup routines to add custom libraries, (PML&C for
example), to the backup.
