AUTOBACKUP should have nothing to do with command backup. I would issue a QUERY REQUESTS and QUERY ACTIVE to find out what is waiting and what is active. Sounds like there may be an issue if all of the requests are waiting and none are active.

I have a sneaky suspicion that this has to do with the AUTOBACKSTART time. I will keep on digging and let the LIST know if I find anything. --- On Thu, 5/28/09, Big Iron <[email protected]> wrote: From: Big Iron <[email protected]> Subject: Re: DFHSM QUESTION - UNABLE TO BACKUP DSN To: [email protected] Received: Thursday, May 28, 2009, 7:06 AM If I understand correctly, you are saying that there were 1740 backup requests waiting. Your request would normally go to the back of the queue. If there are active backup requests, then DFHSM will get around to yours. If there aren't any active backup requests, then there may be a problem, possibly related to processing the backup request(s) at the front of the queue. I think that it is now possible to adjust the priority of DFHSM requests but I haven't experimented with that feature myself.
