I will look at that.

If the data set is defined as BWO eligible, then DSS logic (data mover for HSM) can handle backing the data set up while open. How frequently a backup copy is created is determined by management class (SMS) or HSM policy (nonSMS). If a CI/CA split occurs during the backup, then it will be failed. It can be automatically retried with the HSM INUSE option. (Search for 'BWO' in the HSM Storage Administration manual) and it will take you to the INUSE section. Search for 'BWO' in the DFSMSdss Storage Administration for all of the gory details :) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
