have you tried using a PIPE to read in the DDR2CMS file, run it through

It *may* be faster
Hi Mike,
Actually, If I have to continue this mode of operation where I produce
an intermediate file, I'll probably stop using DDR2CMS and just use
PIPEDDR to create the LRECL=F file for FTP'ing. I'll have to mod
PIPEDDR though, you see we read cylinder 0 from the real production

Hi Tom,
Yep, I've already thought about dropping DDR2CMS (see post I just sent)
- at least it would eliminate the need to copy the file into an RECFM=F
file.
Of course dd from local DASD to a Samba mounted file share would be
perfect, just one little problem - it doesn't run under CMS(!). I've
The back half of this also needs to be considered.
In case of an actual disaster, the process you are using requires a running VM
system before you can do the restore. Disaster recovery sites have VM running.
If you have your own replacement hardware, you can bring up the VM starter
system,
If you have your own hotsite, you can prestage a copy of the 530RES, 530W
01,
etc volumes and have all of your special code on that system. Or a more
compact 1 volume DR recovery system, a 3390-m9 is MORE than enough space.

We are on an IBM 2066-0B1 with ESCON channels to an IBM 9393, running

You really should plan towards monkey boy as being the only resource

The added cycles for software encryption is a problem for me also.

You might try attaching your tape drive as 181

Your VSE system might be trying to use an address of 582

Look at WAKEUP. It can trap on events, like messages from DIRMAINT, or
the arrival of a RDR file. It can also be set to time out if none of the
monitored events occurs in whatever you consider to be a reasonable time.
When it exits, it stacks information on why.
