Issue/Introduction

Are there any specific changes to ASM2BKUP needed to back up the IPC (Integrated Product Catalog) to DASD?

Environment

 

Resolution

The IPC may be backed up to disk. The only change required is in the DD statement. Here is a sample DD statement:

 
//ASM2BKUP DD  DSN=HLQ.ASM2.R42PLUS.IPCBKUP,
//             UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=xxnnnn,    
//             SPACE=(CYL,(2,1)),           
//             DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE)
