You can modify the config file names via operator command, so a process that Peter outlined could work. I do not know if the new file names take effect immediately, or on the next cycle. So you could set something up on a daily basis. In our case, I have turned off all AUDIT recording except for errors, and made the metadata.xml files 8 MB, and after running now for almost a year, that file is only 1.5MB with 11,500 tapes worth of data in it. We backup the file systems, so I do not plan on externalizing these files. Of course, over a number of years that file will probably get too big, but then I can manually do something, in the absence of an automated process.

So, yes, I am looking at creating a pre or post REXX to alter the config file in Unix to have the names that I want. It would have been nicer if Unix provided this function or the JZOS process provided it. This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
