hi,
I need a JCL to take the backup of thousand of Datasets to a tape.
All the dataset names starting with 'DEV.REG'.
Any kind of file will be there such as PS,VSAM,GDG files.
It would be fine to have a single step for backup, instead of taking each file one by one.
Thanks in advance,
Chinna. |

You can use IEBGENER to copy datasets to TAPE.

How are you going to get the names of all the datasets starting with those 2 qualifiers? I guess it would be better to create the JCL dynamically using REXX. It would be a cumbersome task to create the JCL manually.

I don't think it can be copied in a single step. This is what i can think of
1)Have an instream PROC with a symbolic parameter for the DSN name.
2)Have different steps calling that PROC with a diff DSN name. |

What about dfsdss
something like..
| Code: |
//DUMP EXEC PGM=ADRDSSU,REGION=choose_a_region_size(4M)
//*
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
DUMP DATASET(INCLUDE(Your_high_level_qualifier.**)) -
TOL(ENQF) ADMIN -
OUTDD(SYSUT2)
/*
//SYSUT2 DD UNIT=TAPE............

enrico,
As per your last post, all the datasets with that qualifier will be copied to a tape dataset specified in SYSUT2.
Is there any way to create one copy for every dataset with that qualifier? |

Why would You do that?
To have an output dataset for each input would mean :
1) a step for eachdataset
2) a command for each dataset
the performance would be terrible
the tape utilization horrible
the Jcl would need to dynamically prepared each time
GO FOR DFDSS !! :-)
If Your doubt is about the restore phase.. no problem there,
the include operand does not need to be a generic,
can also be a fully qualified ( specific ) dataset name
| Code: |
RESTORE DATASET(INCLUDE(specific_dataset_name)) -
TOL(ENQF) ADMIN -
INDD(SYSUT1) -
RENAMEU(New_high_level_qualifier)
|
not sure about the syntax of the RENAMEU operand, please check the manual
or wait until my mvs is up |

In our shop, we take the backups of few datasets in TAPE. We have a seperate step for each dataset as mentioned. We are taking the backup as the retention period of the original dataset is only 5 days.
e.g if all 5 datasets are backed up in TAPE and if i want to access the first dataset alone then how should i go about it? . Please throw some light on this. |

/smiley on
the answer my friend is blowing into the wind
/smiley off
the answer is in the smartness of DFDSS and its INCLUDE operand
look at my previous append code sample |

hi,
The dataset backup jcl using ADRDSSU is working fine.
But i faced a little problem,when it comes to Migrated datasets.
i went through the manual but i could not find any info related to migrated datasets.
i need part of JCL which is used to dump all the datasets irrespective of migrated or normal file.
Thanks in advance. |

HSM recalls them uh??
You cheated :-)
You didn' t tell You had HSM ...
What is wrong in letting HSM take care of backups ??? |

Indeed, that is exactly what DFhsm was designed for. If you just want some short term backups let HSM do it.
Ask your storage group to setup the specific MGMTCLAS(s) and just sit back and let HSM do it all for you. |

hi all,
The HSM itself takes care of backups.
But my requirement is to take the backup of files in a single tape file and permanently delete the files online.
Anyway, i have got require JCL from your above replies. 
Thanks,
Chinna. |

What is a HSM backup file if not a single tape file ?
This sounds as if it may be an ongoing task, which is why I suggested the SMS solution. |

hi,
The purpose is to remove the existing files from region and keep the backup in a single tape file instead of several tape file.
This is easy for maintanence.
Thanks,
Chinna. |
