Me, I'm a *DTAQ kinda guy. So you set up a DDM *DTAQ between systems. While system "A" is backing up System "B" patiently waits on the queue at his end. When "A" is done it sends a notification that the drive is available and now "B" starts his backup. When he's done he notifies "A" that he's complete so the cycle can start again.

You may want to consider some extra data in the queue such as date so that old messages that might possibly get stuck in the queue are recognized and properly ignored.

I was reading on line that with V7R1 and TR2 you can virtualize an External

correctly you simply vary it off where it is vary it on where you want it.
sound good for a manual operation or a timed set of cmds.

So if I needed to send a cmd to another partition what is the best way?
Assuming I don't need to wait for a specific time to save LPAR B and LPAR C
I want to start the save of LPAR A and as soon as it ends Start LPARB and
so...
