Re: Lights out operations

[Matt Keever <keevermj@xxxxxxxxx>]

I use a CL that is submitted to a queue specifically for nite processing.
That CL drops subsystems, runs backups, reports and file cleanups, submits
other jobs that need to be run and brings the subsystems back up when done.

The initial job is submitted by the iSeries as a job schedule entry.  All we
need to do is make sure the backup tape is inserted before the end of the
day.

Thanks
