RE: Full System Backup in BATCH mode ?

Jorge

You are right, a savsys should always be performed from the console, even
other device coupled to the controlling subsystem is not enough.
There are several options for you here.

1e.
The product BRMS has a trick for this, most other backuppackages (Robot
Save, Help system AOS tapemanager) use the same trick. They start a monitor
program on the console and than they start a job from somewhere, scheduler,
batch with a wait. this job trickers the monitor to start the full backup
options.

2e.
Create a CL program you start on the console with a userprofile that can
only start this (initial program) no attn-key allows and *SIGNOFF in the
profile.
Make some test if you are on the console.
Test the tapedrive if a tape is there.
Wait till you want the backup to start and then
endsbs *all
backup all you want
start QCTL or IPL

If needed I can find a example CL

Onderwerp: Full System Backup in BATCH mode ?


Hello Midrange Users,

I am sure this question has been asked before

But what about at V5R1 or V5R2 ?

Has anyone been able to figure out if a full System Backup
can be run in BATCH mode ?

By Full System Backup I mean:
Operating System, QSYS, IBM Libraries, Licensed Programs
*ALLUSR libraries *ALL Folders and *ALL User Directories

However to my knowledge
The SAVSYS requires the system to be in a restricted state.

Does it mean that only a device attached to the Controlling
Subsystem can perform this function ?


Just want to know your opinions

Thanks in advance
