Maybe it's because you have start date in the DATE parameter? In the documentation at there are specific rules about ignoring the start date when using ARCHIVE or DELETE https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.ieag200/dumplopt.htm There are these statements (t

From my experience on systems with limited CPs (albeit some time ago): - Velocities need to be reviewed. Achievable velocities might be much lower than on a system with more CPs. - It is critical that goals are achievable. The goal tells WLM when it can take resources away from high importanc

X-posted IBM-MAIN and RACF-L. Who do you trust? What CERTAUTH certificates do you have installed and trusted? I am contemplating purchasing an FTP server certificate for z/OS client FTP access. I'd like to know which CA's are most likely to already be installed in customers' CERTAUTH keyrin

I also moved to virtual tapes, however for completely different reasons. 1. Dealing with physical tapes is not a problem in ATL. The only "dealing" was to insert bunch of tapes inside. Infrequent, maybe once a half year. Also add/remove cleaning carts and remove failing data carts (very unusual

We moved to virtual tape a long time ago. When projecting costs, you should consider the savings in not having to deal with physical tapes. Just the real estate alone occupied by thousands of tapes is significant, not to mention the labor costs. . . J.O.Skip Robinson Southern California Edison

For a start you need to review your goals. You mentioned Velocity - and that would be a prime one where some adjustment will be required. Check the velocity attained as it varies over a period of time and adjust the goal to be close to it (unless you want to give it a bonus or punish it). If yo

To complement and clarify: when using physical tapes (* see below) your RPO and RTO may be 36 hours or zero. The advantage of TS7700 is replication feature. However for physical drives in ATL you have to have two libraries in two locations. However you can write to both libraries simultaneously.
