Backup-Restore Utility (ESFSPTP)

Backup-Restore Utility (ESFSPTP)

This chapter explains how to use the ESFSPTP (spool transfer program), utility which provides facilities to back up and restore CA Spool files.

Note:

• CA Spool files can be unloaded to a sequential data set and later restored on the originating (or any other) CA Spool system.
• Files can be unloaded and restored as a group or individually.
• Files can be selected for processing by attributes to exclude files that do not satisfy selection criteria.

Note that if multiple criteria are set, only files meeting all criteria are selected.

See CAI.CBQ4JCL(BQ4JSPTP) for an ESFSPTP sample job which can be used to back up and restore files.
