George:
The SMF dumping process is a little more complicated than most jobs.
IMO it needs a little more TLC than any typical job due to the
complexity of what things can happen and the "frequency" in which it
occurs.

I have decided to dump the initial live SMF to dasd rather than
tape. So only
2 tape mounts would be required in this second step. We do have
our job
scheduler monitoring these dump jobs so if there is a failure we
are paged and
as I said before we only dump once a day, easy for the operator to
keep an
eye on it. Also, as I mentioned earlier, I keep multiple GDSs of
the daily (along
with HSM backups now) and weekly files so I could easily rebuild
due to an
error. We also keep monthly tapes which I will also have to
convert from
IEBGENER. I do keep a backup copy of the monthlies. Does this
sound a little
cleaner?
