We have a similar issue in our shop. The midrange area wants tapeless. the Mainframe side TAPE. We have a VTS and ATL. We use the product DRVI to stack the VTS Tape backups to an real tape and ship it offsite for DR purposes. Tape is cheap. tape can survive years in a dusty hole and still

Have you looked at RMF data to see what the job is doing? Do you have products like STROBE or OMEGAMON that can help you isolate the jobs run? Is the application cycle controled by products like ENDEVOR or ChangeMan? If so, you can then verify when changes have been made to the application

You can go to the www.cbttape.org web site and download the CBT files 617 and 523. CBT file 617 is a REXX program that will give you a report using SMF 30 type records. CBT file 523 is an assembler program that will extract SMF records you select using SYSIN control cards. You can also

Disagree there. We have many disparate systems in this shop (and others that I've been at) that there is no way... even with a true business need that I would consider trying to move into a shared spool environment. Technical reasons can out weigh business needs. Security is another issue.

I've implemented tapeless backup at several of our customer sites. The cost is obscenely cheap, but it's not for everyone. The advantage it provides is the ability to ship it easily once it's in the final format. It's reshapable so that it can be stored on a SAN easily, but can also be
