Hi Daniel, We don't show that you've contacted us on this. We're here if you need help.
You are licensed for FDRABR and this is the FDR product that you need to perform this. It would be a manual process to attempt doing this with FDRDSF. With FDRABR, you control the number of tapes to dump to concurrently, so if you want to dump to two tapes you would include a //TAPE1 DD and a //TAPE2 DD. An example of a job to do a full volume dump of all ONLINE volumes: //EXAMPLE1 EXEC PGM=FDRABR,REGION=0M //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRIN1 DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRIN2 DD SYSOUT=* //TAPE1 DD UNIT=3592,DSN=FDR1,DISP=(,KEEP),VOL=(,,,255) //TAPE2 DD UNIT=3592,DSN=FDR2,DISP=(,KEEP),VOL=(,,,255) //SYSIN DD * DUMP TYPE=FDR,ONLINE,DSNENQ=USE,ENQERR=NO,RTC=YES /* To exclude volumes, you can add EXCLUDE cards. For example: //SYSIN DD * DUMP TYPE=FDR,ONLINE,DSNENQ=USE,ENQERR=NO,RTC=YES EXCLUDE ALLDSN,VOLG=WORK /* To select the volumes to dump using volsers: //SYSIN DD * DUMP TYPE=FDR,ONLINE,DSNENQ=USE,ENQERR=NO,RTC=YES MOUNT VOLG=SYS MOUNT VOLG=PROD /* To select the volumes to dump using SMS Storage Groups: //SYSIN DD * DUMP TYPE=FDR,ONLINE,DSNENQ=USE,ENQERR=NO,RTC=YES MOUNT STORGRP=DBLARGE MOUNT STORGRP=DBSMALL /* If there are any questions, or concerns, please let us know.

Boss said objective is to get our 830 DASD dumped to two tapes, and if it's fast enough do it nightly. Started messing around with our homegrown code and set up FDR/DSF for 155 volumes per tape just to check time and usage. Sparks flew and we got several 513-04 abends, but the job kept trucking. Smoke billowed as it hit my generated DISK card(s) that commenced with DISKAA or TAPEAA that caused a U888 - DD card name cannot exceed 5 characters. 513-04 may be the result of TAPE11 or TAPE22 being used because it's reserved for duplication, IIRC, (and that just flashed into my brain.) The objective is to stay with FDR because we own it. No money for other third party solutions. I'm thinking FDRABR? Open to suggestions....think I'm on the right track. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
