You can run multiple simultaneous recalls unless the archives are non-sharable (e.g. tape).
If you know the report versions to be recalled ahead of time you can batch the recall in a single step. If you use something like HSM or ABR to migrate the archives then those products have their own mass recall facilities. -----Original Message----- Greg Shirey Sent: Friday, December 02, 2011 9:20 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: [IBM-MAIN] Mobius RDS If by Mobius RDS, you mean Infopac (ViewDirect), then yes we have done mass recalls. Usually after multiple archive recall jobs are sent to the queue, the operators will issue Mount commands to the tape devices once they see which tapes are needed. Less frequently, the recall jobs are sent to the queue with multiple ##RECALL statements in the INCARD1 DD. This takes some preparation on the part of the person submitting the recall job, whereas the previous method requires the operator knowing how to format the Mount command. If you're asking if you can run simultaneous recalls, I don't know, but I don't think so. HTH, Greg Shirey Ben E.
