Dale,
Yes it's good for R6, we've been using it for a while now. At 1st it
didn't always end "user jobs" external to MAPICS. But now it's running
nicely.
We're running at R6 PTF 8462 (SH15415) without individual PTFs (for
this).
There were a lot of fixes to this, for Prestart jobs, user jobs, OS/400
variations. I would search support using keywords "back-up options end
jobs" if you need to load individually vs. a package.
I can't remember when we last failed to get dedicated mode for a
back-up. It's been over a year now. We haven't selected the last
option to end batch jobs. (Our third shift rarely runs any)
I found the explanation on support site for option meanings...:
Here is the solution: Backup end options
These options are provided to help insure that the backup will get
dedicated mode:
END INACTIVE SESSIONS. . . . 1 0=NO, 1=YES
YES = the session will be ended If the user is on a menu
NO = the session will NOT be ended If the user is on a menu
END ACTIVE SESSIONS. . . . . 0 0=NO, 1=YES
YES = the session will be ended even If the user is running a menu
option
NO = the session will NOT be ended even If the user is running a menu
option
END PRESTART CLIENT JOBS . . 0 0=NO, 1=YES
YES = the session will be ended If the user is using a client
application
NO = the session will NOT be ended If the user is using a client
application
END BATCH JOBS . . . . . . . 0 0=NO, 1=YES
YES = the batch jobs will be ended
NO = the batch jobs will NOT be ended

The last page of back-up options now allows selection of ending jobs to
allow the unattended back-up to proceed as scheduled. This was a recent
enhancement and there were fixes to make it work properly.
Use AMZM41 05 (Change Backup Options)
Then you can choose to end jobs if needed.
END INACTIVE SESSIONS. . . . 1 0=NO, 1=YES
END ACTIVE SESSIONS. . . . . 1 0=NO, 1=YES
END PRESTART CLIENT JOBS . . 1 0=NO, 1=YES
END BATCH JOBS . . . . . . . 0 0=NO, 1=YES
Hope this helps,
Ed Kandel

Subject: [MAPICS-L] XA Unattended backup in a 24/7 shop
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
