Tammys,

I have Full System Backup running thru the Job Scheduler. Would be willing to share the code if you send me an email; wpoulin@rev.state.nh.us.

Actually, as of V5R3, you can run a SAVSYS in batch as long as you put together a CL program and the job is submitted to jobq QCTL.

The CL should contain:

ENDSBS SBS(*ALL) OPTION(*IMMED) BCHTIMLMT(720)

The BCHTIMLMT is the amount of time, in minutes, used to bring the system “back to life” in case there is a problem.

You can then add a SAVSYS and any other save commands you like.

If you have BRMS and OS400 V5R3 the option 21 save can be submitted as batch job. It works better if you have tape library.

STRBKUBRM CTLGRP(FULLSAVE) SBMJOB(*CTLSBS) +
RETENTION(*DAYS 90)

We just went thru this… look in this manual from IBM starting on page 118 – Console Monitoring.

this alows automation of savsys
