I have a concern of the way the EMC Software - Timefinder Snap - under Mainframe Enabler Software 7.0 works.
EMC decided that when the SNAP function occurs on a volume, they would issue the S DEALLOC proc (Yes IEFBR14) to get IOS to vary the volume offline sooner. I am not sure if that is a good thing. It is issued for each vary offline command they create. If I have 10 volumes and each one gets an IEFBR14 - maybe not so bad But if I had 1000's of volumes I am snapping, I am not sure. Each one takes up a stc num and clutters up my spool for one thing. So I thought I would ask, is this the best way to get vary offline to hurry up?
