Hi, Aplogy for the broad distribution.
I searched the list for people that may have some IXFP experience. I have none. The REXX script below is a production script that runs happily. This volumes will migrate to new disk types not supported by IXFP. Thus I am looking for experience on how to translate the script below and parms into some PPRC equivalent? Basically, the 3 questions A, B and C at the end of this email need answers which I can not give. I am a z/OS background. CATALOG SNAPREXX.PROC DATA=YES REPLACE=YES TRACE OFF RC = SENDCMD('IXFP SNAP,RVA010:BKP010,VOL1=BKP010,NOPROMPT') CALL SLEEP 20 RC = SENDCMD('IXFP SNAP,RVA011:BKP011,VOL1=BKP011,NOPROMPT') CALL SLEEP 20 RC = SENDCMD('IXFP SNAP,RVA012:BKP012,VOL1=BKP012,NOPROMPT') CALL SLEEP 20 : : : RC = SENDCMD('VOLUME A') CALL SLEEP 10 RC = SENDCMD('VOLUME C') CALL SLEEP 10 RC = SENDCMD('VOLUME 9') CALL SLEEP 10 /+ /* A - What would be the most appropriate VSE script commands for : - FASTCOPY - VSAM/IDCAMS - ICKDSF - ... B - What need to be done in theses VSE command for parameters for: - Volumes source - Volumes target - VolumeID=xxxxxx which are present in the current script? C - How do we make sure the source Vol-ID is set onto the target Vol-ID when the physical copy ends? - ICKDSF - ... Runs on IBM system z/800 @500Mips, FICON, z/VSE v3.xx, volumes are ECKD 3390-3. Note: With z/VSE v3.1 and z/VSE v4.1, product IXFP/SnapShot (feature 5686-066) and VSE/VSAM for VM 61 (feature 5686-081) can not be ordered anymore.
