RE: BRMS CPF5140 Error

If the console is not available, then what's the advantage of the backup
being in batch? Strictly the time limit? Or is the time limit available
with *CONSOLE also?

Reason I ask is the once (and only once) the operator did not ready a tape
in the MLB device. At 12:01am the backup fired off, couldn't find anywhere
to backup to, and sat there until I came in at 7am.

It's only happened once, but my next step would have been to a check in the
*EXIT point at the start. If no tape was available, I assume there would be
a way I could abort the whole thing, email me, I call the operator, wake her
up, make her go into the office (she has a key) and put in the $#@&%*$ tape.

I should be more specific. One cannot directly monitor a batch job running
in the controlling subsystem when it has ended. Even the console goes
offline for the duration of the backup. The BRMS log and job log are
available after the fact. This is why it's very important to set an
appropriate value for the restricted state end time. If the system is
totally locked I think one can force DST from the front panel, there are

DST

options to force the restricted state batch job to end. I've only had to

do

that once so don't have specifics.

And just to reiterate, the console is *not* available during the backup.

So no, the developer can't monitor the backup *whle it's running* but (for
example) once tested on a couple of small libraries, it should be

sufficient

to go for the whole system.

Doesn't BRMS use a joblog or something? If the job is running in batch
underneath QCTL can't you see how it's doing by looking at it's joblog?

Or

does BRMS really present pretty screens in which it tells you exactly
which object of which library it's on or some such thing?

I would think that if you used the job in QCTL then your console would
still be free to evaluate "issues".
