Virtual Library System (VLS) File Backups

CA Datacom/AD Version 14.0 does not deliver the CICS interface, DCS, with this version, so this section can be ignored. CA Datacom/AD Version 12.0 was the last version to have this functionality.

Optional. There are several Virtual Library System (VLS) files required to support your CA Datacom/AD environment with CICS. Use the VLSUTIL BACKUP function to backup the Virtual Library System (VLS) files. Similar functions exist to RESTORE, FORMAT, REPORT, and so forth. This is only necessary if you are using CICS with your CA using products. For more information, see the CA IPC Customization and Tuning Guide.
