Global Variable Backup and Restore

CA OPS/MVS provides a method for you to backup and restore your global variable database. Note that all RDF tables are stored as a collection of global variables; therefore, this method also backs up and restores all RDF tables. The global variable database is a linear VSAM data set, also called a data-in-virtual or DIV data set, and is allocated to the CA OPS/MVS started task using ddname SYSCHK1.
