Re: Another backup question

Mark

This does raise other issues:

What Release/Version of XA are you at?  (R4, R5, R5.5, R6, R7, R7.7,
R7.8,R9)
What applications?  This affects some of the pre/post issues.

Mark,

It is possible that at R4.0 version of XA the Pre/Post backup options may
not have been available.  It has been at least a decade since I have worked
on a R4 version of XA.  In R5.5 and beyond (maybe even R5), there is a place
to key a command (like CALL PGM(X) as part of the backup process.  The "PRE"
backup command will run before a dedicated mode is obtained.  The "POST"
backup command will run after dedication has occurred AND after the XA
backup process has been completed.  

 

The End-of-Tape option is for the XA Backup portion only.  If, as part of
your Post Backup command, you are saving additional libraries then you would
want to change the option to a 2=Leave.  Your Post Backup command would have
to handle the Unload/Rewind option.  See the sample screen shot below:

============================================================================
======

 DATE  4/19/10            CHANGE BACKUP OPTIONS            CHANGE     AXZU95
AZ
                         BACK UP TO TAPE OPTIONS

 

 

 

         SAVE ACCESS PATHS. . . . . . 1    0=NO, 1=YES

 

         DATA COMPRESSION . . . . . . 1    0=NO, 1=YES, 2=DEVICE

 

         DATA COMPACTION. . . . . . . 1    0=NO, 1=DEVICE

 

         END OF TAPE OPTION . . . . . 2    0=UNLOAD, 1=REWIND, 2=LEAVE

 

         PRE-BACKUP COMMAND . . . . . CALL PGM(PREBACKUP)               
 

 

 

         POST-BACKUP COMMAND. . . . . CALL PGM(POSTBACKUP)              
 

 

 

 

                                                          F18 REFRESH
DISPLAY   
                                                          F19 RETURN TO
SELECT  

 

============================================================================

If you are still on R4, then you may want to consider some other options to
handle saving additional libraries.
