We use all the "DIRMAINT " or "DIRM" commands and also are able to use XEDIT to make our major directory changes. I wrote an EXEC to "DIRMAINT OFFLINE", "DIRMAINT BACKUP", DIRMAINT SHUTDOWN", then "COPY USER BACKUP B &DIRNAME DIRECT A (OLDD " , followed by "XEDIT &DIRNAME DIRECT A".
Once my EXDIT changes are made and I "FILE", I "COPY &DIRNAME DIRECT A USER INPUT C (OLDD" to the DIRMAINT 1DF mdisk," CP XAUTOLOG DIRMAINT", "EXEC DIRMAINT ONLINE". Anyway you get the idea. There are precautions and sleeps and performed by the EXEC, but that is the general idea. Hope this helps, Ray Waters From: The IBM z/VM Operating System [mailto:ib...@listserv.uark.edu] On Behalf Of Sergio Lima Sent: Friday, October 01, 2010 8:55 AM To: IBMVM@LISTSERV.UARK.EDU Subject: How DIRMAINT Work ? Hello List, We need implement the DIRMAINT product here, but we have some doubts. Have a STEP there, when need migrate our VMUSERS DIRECT A to DIRMAINT minidisk. After do this, We never more can edit our VMUSERS DIRECT, as we do today? We are very concerned about this implementation, which we should take necessary precautions? We already have implemented this, in a test environment, apapparently had no problems, but we need to make sure. Could someone give their opinion?
