Re: SNDDST and system backup problems

Kevin,

We have had that same issue.  We have a program that will restart QMSF
if it is down or not in the correct state.  Once it is restarted, it
sends an email to any amount of recipients to inform them of the fact
QMSF was restarted.

If you want the source, I can email it to you along with a quick blurb
on how it works.

Subject: [WEB400] SNDDST and system backup problems

Hello,

  I have some legacy applications that send e-mail attachments via the
SNDDST command.  We no longer use that method so I say legacy.  I'm
having a problem where the nightly system backup on the box will be
backing up items that are used by the MSF jobs on the system and will
cause the MSF jobs to crash.  If users are trying to send e-mail via the
SNDDST method at that exact moment, it'll cause MSF to crash.  Has this
happened to anyone and do you have suggestions to notify a user or
recover.  The problem is that the system isn't monitored closely enough
and the jobs could be down for awhile before anyone notices the problem.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
