Ping Perhaps it would help if we knew what you were trying to accomplish in disaster recovery and the reason that EMC displays the WTOR and requires a reply. There may be another way to accomplish your purpose that does not require the replies.
Two general observations might also help you. The customers that I have worked with for disaster recovery operations have used some form of SRDF and that process does not require any operator replies to function properly. Especially not for thousands of individual devices. Also, the restore operation when it is used as a full volume restore is a destructive operation that requires verifying the VOLSER. You want to think carefully before you overwrite standard volumes without some process to verify that the source and target were actually paired together at one time and represent the same volume.

When issue 'RESTORE' of thousands of DASD devices, you need to respond to prompt messages of each and every single one of the DASD device. We asked EMC on 'Bypassing' those prompt messages and replies, EMC gave us a module called 'EMCSAFI'. Does anybody have any knowledge of working on this module? Things I'd like to find out are: 1. ACF2 set up, such as CLASMAP, SAFDEF, …, etc. 2. Changes in this assembler source module on BYPASS-WTOR in FULL or PARTIAL-RESTORE I'd appreciate if someone would share the experience with me.
