Cannot log on to AS400 due to stuck backup program V5R3 with IBM Client Access

Hi All,

We recently had a power failiure during our daily backup procedure (Yes outlasted our 30 min emergency ups) This inadvertantly caused the back to fail, now every time we try to log in we have message that sates “end of day processing please try later” then we come back to log in screen.

I can log in as QSECOFR and QSYSOPR also the account that initiated the backup (Only on console A0) all other users receive the message. I have ended all the jobs that relate to the backup using WRKACTJOB command, but still receive the message.

I read on a forum that you can run ENDSBS *ALL and then do system restart which might remove the system locks.

I am only keeping the system running for Historical data and the company has now moved to SAGE so as soon as I gain access will end the scheduled backup tasks.

Can anyone help with my problem, I’m a noob so would appreciate as much help as possible.
