I'm glad for your part. >we do currently use idcams to backup the database...been in place since??? With IDCAMS? If you really needed to use IDCAMS, which is not recommended, I would like suggest that you use IRRUT200 (and also IRRUT400) at least to verify the integrity of the copy result, but you can use IRRUT200 to make a backup while ensuring a lock is hold. Then thereafter you can use IDCAMS, DFDSS, whatever to copy your newly created backup of RACF DB. >we did use dfdss this time to backup and restore to different name...and reipl'd using that name...leaving old one alone--just incase.. This is a good method, which I also used during the Y2K fun days full of havoc where I have to create several dozen LPARs with their own parmlib, vtamlst, RACF DB, HSM, JES2, etc. All with their own naming standards... ;-) Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Email Disclaimer This E-mail contains confidential information belonging to the sender, which may be legally privileged information.
