Well, it depends on whether you're running audits or not. If you're running an audit on a regular basis, then it makes sense to "hold it" since an audit will keep your CDSs from getting backed up.

This is done before the CDS backups (DATAMOVER=DSS) are taken. However once the CDS backups have completed the AUDIT is not released. No one knows why the AUDIT is held. When DFHSM is brought up after a shutdown the AUDIT=NOT HELD. AUTOMATIIONS say they inherited this rule when the client came on board. My question is should I have the rule changed and release the AUDIT function after the CDS backups would it cause a problem? Thanks. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
