Re: MAPICS Backup -- MAPICS-L

If you are going to create a CL to post IM Batches using the PRTIMTXR
command to run as part of the Pre-Backup Command, remember that PRTIMTXR
will submit the Post Transactions options.  Therefore, it will be behind the
backup, not run before it.

> MAPICS has provided a downloadable enhancement (XAR6 and XAR7) which
interfaces with the iSeries Job Scheduler to allow you to schedule your
backup (see SH14394).  I don't think it will do the batch closes and
updates, but as mentioned previously, you could use the Pre and Post backup
commands.
