RE: physical / virtual tape backup file at a time

["Adrienne McConnon" <Adrienne.McConnon@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Justin,

Thanks for you response but we want to copy one file from a physical
tape drive to a virtual tape to transfer to another iSeries. We don't
want to duplicate the entire tape (DUPTAP). We don't have enough disk
space to copy more than one file from the physical tape drive to the
virtual. So the iSeries commands we want to learn would be to create a
virtual tape with no more than 10 GB space used and then copy file #7
from the physical tape drive to that virtual tape.

Thanks,

Adrienne

I'd think you'd just be able to do a DUPTAP.  Mount the virtual to one,
the physical to another, off you go.

Do savobj or savlib's to the virtual, and then once you're all done,
dupe it.

Subject: physical / virtual tape backup file at a time

Hi,
 
I am resubmitting a backup theory request that I submitted a week or two
ago, but did not receive an answer.  I am thinking I was not stating the
problem properly.
 
 
We want to be able to back up a file at a time using a virtual tape to a
physical tape.  We are not sure this is even possible - but if it is -
and you have an example of a job or set of CL that accomplishes this -
we'd be very appreciative.

Thanks,
 
Adrienne McConnon

For customers with the proper PTF levels at V5R3/4, it seemed to go
well.
Older PTF levels it was a disaster, and will become a double disaster in
a
few weeks

For customers with the recent releases of TAA Tools, it was fine using
the
SETDAYLITE tool.  For customers with older releases of TAA, or not using
the tool, not so good. A fairly busy phone day yesterday.

To put things in perspective, prior to V5R3, we all did this manually.
This only became an issue with Windoze '95 started to do it
automagically,
so this was when AS/400 customers (wasn't that the name of our system
then?
- If IBM keeps changing this name often enough, it will never have any
market recognition!)

Well then, just before you're ready to recreate the file(s), do:

- ENDHOSTSVR *DATABASE
- ENDPJ QUSRWRK QZDASOINIT OPTION(*IMMED)
- delay for time sufficient to bring all of your ODBC jobs down
- run your "recreate files" script
- STRHOSTSVR *DATABASE

It's too bad you have to resort to this kind of drastic action.  
In my humble opinion it reflects a need for application redesign in your
nightly batch jobs.

Hi Walden, if the file is left open it will cause abends in nightly
batch
jobs which are trying to recreate the file.

Or put all your jobs that would access that particular file/set of files
in a separate subsystem and just end/restart the subsystem.
