I guess I didn't put it distinctly enough. I know it does NOT affect
TGT libraries. But I was trying to say (and apparently
unsuccessfully) it does not work on the CURRENT system. In order to
make it work the manager tells you you *MUST* back off the apply (for
the modules not all) it can get dicey telling a manager that you
can't go back because a fix has been accepted
That can be a problem only if you have accepted the maintenance to
ALL of
your DLIB zones. You do clone your target/dlib zones sometimes,
don't you? I
do like to keep a relatively virginal DLIB just for such
emergencies. Clone it
again and accept whatever maintence you need for this situation,
relate it to
your target zone and you are all set to restore whatever you want.
At one place where I worked it was an issue as we were DASD *POOR*. I
had to beg for anything. When I ran into that issue I had to back
stuff up to tape. They were cheap on the tape as well and I had to
beg for extension periods on tapes. I got real tired of asking for
extensions. I ended up writing a memo to the boss and saying if I
couldn't get extensions to these tape no fall back was possible if
the tapes were scratched. I made it very plain that it would be tough
luck on anyone trying to go back 6 months. He in turn had to beg from
his boss and up the begging went. I was so tired of it. Whenever I
got tapes from IBM and I was through with them I created my own tape
library in my cubicle. I took them out to the computer room for my
private use for back ups. Sorry to complain but not everyone is
fortunate enough to have spare dasd or tape(s) readily available.
