User Exits

CA VM:Backup provides the following user exits:

VMBEXIT1

Sends customized CA VM:Backup requests for tape mounts to a tape operator or tape-management system.

VMBEXIT2

Sends customized minidisk or file space quiesce requests to users or other service virtual machines. This exit can also send customized messages to resume the minidisk or file space activity. These messages occur when CA VM:Backup has finished backing up the minidisk or file space.

VMBEXIT3

Grants or denies all or specific users the ability to restore their own data and data that belongs to other users. This exit overrides the requirement to grant CA VM:Backup system administrator authorization to the users.

VMBEXIT4

Allows a data center to change the link mode on the CP LINK command that is issued when restoring data to minidisks. The exit sends messages to users and other service virtual machines to detach the target minidisk, or performs other quiescing or setup processing required.

VMBEXIT5

Specifies which tape CA VM:Backup must use next in a backup or MPC job when CA VM:Backup is not interfaced with CA VM:Tape.
