How to BACKUP and RELOAD a CA Ramis database in z/OS?
z/OS
To BACKUP a CA Ramis database, run a batch RAMIS job:
//BACKUP EXEC PGM=RAMIS
...
//RAMBACKU DD DSN=backup.dataset,DISP=NEW... or SHR if preallocated
... where RAMBACKU is disk or tape with DCB of VB,7204,7208
//database DD DSN=database.you.want.to.backup,DISP=SHR
//RAMSYSIN DD *
USE
database
END
BACKUP
/*
BACKUP gives message indicating how many database blocks were backed up:
DM0442: Number of data blocks backed up= nnnnn
To RELOAD a CA Ramis database from BACKUP, run a batch RELOAD job:
//RELOAD EXEC PGM=RAMIS,...
...
//RAMRELOA DD DSN=backup.dataset,DISP=SHR
//database DD DSN=new.database.to.reload.into,DISP=NEW...or SHR if preallocated
... where database is a disk data set with DCB of FB,7200,7200
//RAMSYSIN DD *
USE 1
database
END
RELOAD
/*
RELOAD will show how many blocks were reloaded.
This number will be the same as the number of blocks backed up:
DM0440: Number of data blocks reloaded= nnnnn
