DFHSM has its own backup process for the xCDS and Journal datasets. When DFHSM does it backups it Quiesces itself, does the backup and then resumes itself. If you manually backup the xCDS/Journal datasets for DFHSM you have two options 1) Fuzzy backup (DFHSM is running) using TOL(ENQF) in your control cards. This will not guarantee a good restore if necessary. This is what you are doing and getting the error ADR952E. 2) Stop DFHSM completely, run the backup, start DFHSM backup. For option 1) the error message might be part of the following APAR. OA31729: ADR952E RC00000008 RSN61FF0006 DURING BACKUP OF NON-FORWARD RECOVERABLE VSAM RLS DATA SET 10/07/29 PTF PECHANGE OA28482 disallowed quiescing of BWO defined datasets if the dataset is non forward recoverable. This was an original design that was not strictly enforced and OA28482 started the enforcement. However users have exploited the non-enforcement and jobs would receive failures ADR952E RC00000008 RSN61FF0006 after application of OA28482. You may wish to contact IBM support for more information.
