If you create a PROFILE EXEC on 191 that checks who's running and invokes another exec if it's a dumper machine, e.g.: if userid() /= 'DMPADMIN' then do 'CP SP CON DMPADMIN' 'EXEC' userid() 'CP LOGOFF' end
and create "<userid> EXEC" for every dumper machine that you are actually going to use and that contains something simple (you are going to maintain this), e.g.: ' EXEC DDRCOPY $VOLS$ <source_addr> $VOLS$ <target_addr>' then you only need to write a DDRCOPY EXEC that will link source and target minidisks and invoke DDR program. >From here you only need to maintain <userid> EXEC's from dump maintenance machine and autolog dumper machines to do the work.
