Backup and Restore Global Variables

CA OPS/MVS provides a method for you to backup and restore your global variable database.

CA OPS/MVS enables you to schedule the global variable backups or you can take a backup on demand by submitting a batch job or started task.

To schedule your global variable backups, use one of the following three methods:

• (Recommended) Internally scheduled by the CA OPS/MVS global variable checkpoint task.
• Scheduled by a CA OPS/MVS TOD rule.
• Externally controlled batch job or started task; usually controlled by a job scheduler.

For more information about the global variable backup and restore program, see the Administration Guide.
