Hi Cynthia

as an alternative, consider modifying your save strategy as follows:
- Use virtual tape instead of savf's - will allow you to use 1 SAVLIB
operation instead of 7
- Use Save While active so you can you can restart processing once you have
a sync point instead of when the save is completely finished.

If you do decide to use save while active be sure to understand the SAVACT
parameter.

Seems a bit odd that you are saving you high availability libraries on what
sounds like the source system. Is there a reason you don;t save them on the
target so jobs on the source don;t need to be interrupted ?

We end QINTER and do a SAVLIB to *SAVF (in QBATCH) for our top seven high
availability libraries before restarting QINTER and allowing users back on
the system while the remaining libraries are backed up to tape.

We were running the SAVLIB commands consecutively, one after another, in
QBATCH. This job started running over into our dayend processing, so we
decided to submit these SAVLIB jobs separately to QBATCH so they could all
run at the same time.

We expected each of these submitted jobs to take about the same time as
they were taking when they were run one after another. That, however, is
not what happened. Our results were as follows:

4:02 a.m.

Our SAVLIB commands are: SAVLIB LIB(library name) DEV(*SAVF)
SAVF(HALIB/library name) PVTAUT(*YES)

What am I missing? Is there anything I can do to speed this process up?

Thanks.
