Greg, You just need to use the ADMINISTRATOR keyword. You must have RACF (or equivalent) authorization to use the ADMINISTRATOR keyword. The RACF requirements are documented in Chapter 6 of the DFSMSdss Storage Administration Reference.
You should also review the following URL to automate the flashcopy, backup and restore process. http://www.opentechsystems.com/dbs.php Don Bolton Director Technical Services www.OpentechSystems.com -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Greg Shirey Sent: Wednesday, October 17, 2007 3:28 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Flashcopy and ADR369D Listers, We've recently acquired a Shark and are experimenting with Flashcopy on z/OS 1.7. When we do a COPY FULL (with DUMPCONDITIONING specified and with or without FCNOCOPY), message ADR369D is generated, causing the operator to have to respond U for "write access a VTOCIX data set" on the target volume. Is there something we can do to either eliminate or automate the reply? TIA, Greg Shirey Ben E.
