Willie,
Back when business was better and we had 3 full shifts running, we
auto-sent out a message at 250am to all users that they had to log off the
system. Then at 3am (3rd shift lunch time), we did an ENDSBS QINTER
*IMMED, disabled all user-ID except for the IT department's, STRSBS QINTER,
and ran backups through the job scheduler (to disk to save time). Post
backup, we enabled all user-IDs, and sent another message.
Then we ran a CL that saved the disk backup to tape (NOT using the XA menu
option).
Today, we do the same thing WITHOUT ending QINTER - we just don't have
"registered" users working on 3rd shift. All that is up is data collection
terminals and some non-MAPICS inquiry screens. The last thing we do at
end of day is manually end all the people's Client Access sessions that are
logged in to XA (the * indicated that on the WRKACTJOB SBS(QINTER)).
BTW - the save to tape CL is really simple (we use TAP04) for our backup
drive).

[MAPICS-L] XA Unattended backup in

We are currently doing XA unattended backup from the Job Scheduler
(WRKJOBSCDE). Now the plant has started running 24/7, we are having some
problems with XA getting a dedicated mode to do the backups. This is a
random problem. In the last two weeks it happened twice.
Is there any way to suspend (hold) a user while the saves are running then
start (release) them after? I know this is done for our 'U' jobs.
Any suggestions or ideals would be appreciated.
Thanks,
William Moore
