I finally figured out what I was doing wrong with the FRBACKUP, but now I've created a new problem. To explain the problem I have explain the process I do now.A scheduled job runs nightly around 4:30-5:00 am. The job looks like this:
//STEP020 EXEC PGM=IKJEFT01,DYNAMNBR=20 //SYSTSPRT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=* //SYSTSIN DD * HSENDCMD FRBACKUP COPYPOOL(CPY001) EXECUTE DUMP DUMPCLASS(DAILYDR) /* >From what I understand of the process, this job will fast replicate the SMS Storage Groups defined in CPY001 to SMS Storage Group BKPOOL. It will then perform full volume dumps of the Flashed volumes using dump class DAILYDR to my VTL tapes. Once the dumps are completed, DFSMShsm will re-initialize the flashed volumes to break the relationship between the source and target volumes. My problem is that I use the Flashed volumes in another DFSMSdss backup process. Now for the question I have, is there a way to prevent DFSMShsm from re-initializing the volumes until after the DFSMSdss process is complete? I appreciate the help...
