You can manually change any record in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file. To do so, you must first bring down the CA VM:Backup system. You can then use an editor such as XEDIT to edit the VMBACKUP CONFIG records. After you finish editing the records, you must reinitialize CA VM:Backup to have your changes take effect.
When editing the records, keep the following in mind:
You can also use system administrator screens to change certain configuration options. When you change configuration options through the function screens, CA VM:Backup dynamically updates the appropriate configuration file records and the changes take effect immediately; you do not have to reinitialize CA VM:Backup. In this chapter, the description of each record you can reconfigure interactively includes a paragraph on what screen to edit and the screen path. If interactive reconfiguration is not available, this is also noted.
The following section lists each configuration record and briefly describes its use. The pages that follow describe the records in detail.
The configuration file records are listed as follows:
Allows you to add comments to the VMBACKUP CONFIG file
Assigns authorizations to user IDs
Determines if and when CA VM:Backup should automatically run an AUTOCAT job each day, and specifies the name of the job template file for the job
Identifies the virtual address of the minidisk that stores the CA VM:Backup catalog files
Specifies the minidisk used to store checkpoint data during job processing
Specifies the user IDs to which to send disk mount requests
Specifies how long CA VM:Backup is to wait for the disk operator to mount a disk that CA VM:Backup has requested
Specifies where to route a dump if CA VM:Backup terminates abnormally
Specifies the default expertise level for all users whose levels are not set in the VMBACKUP EXPLEVEL file
Identifies the SFS file pools from which CA VM:Backup can back up data and to which CA VM:Backup can restore data
Defines the default time period for end-user restore requests; the time period determines which data is displayed to the user
Specifies the maximum number of files a user can display on restore screens at one time
Specifies, on a systemwide basis, whether CA VM:Backup should display messages in all uppercase letters or in both uppercase and lowercase letters
Specifies the number of different jobs CA VM:Backup can run concurrently
Specifies the virtual address of the CMS minidisk that stores the resource pool files
Identifies other service virtual machines running CA VM:Manager components, and activates the interface between CA VM:Backup and these service virtual machines
Indicates which user ID is to receive a note containing the tape pull list file for restore requests
Identifies the virtual address of the report minidisk that stores keyword data reports until they are requested by the GETRPT command
Specifies whether CA VM:Backup should reserve tape drives for a backup and MPC jobs when interfaced with CA VM:Tape
Specifies the APPC/VM resource identification for the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine.
Set an initial response of YES or NO on end user restore screens that ask if SFS authorizations should be restored along with requested files.
Indicates whether CA VM:Backup should process end-user restore requests immediately or hold them until released by a CA VM:Backup operator through either an operator function screen or with the RELEASE command
Specifies, on a systemwide basis, whether CA VM:Backup prints the system logs for the Backup and Restore Job Detail Reports and the Backup Job Minidisk and File Space Error Reports (error note reports) in all uppercase letters or in both uppercase and lowercase letters
Specifies, on a systemwide basis, whether CA VM:Backup displays all screens in all uppercase letters or in both uppercase and lowercase letters
Defines a collection of DASDtape resource pools
Specifies whether CA VM:Backup should attempt to use the Surrogate facility
Specifies a system minidisk on which to store CA VM:Backup jobs until they are processed
Specifies the user IDs to receive informational and error messages about CA VM:Backup processing
Specifies whether CA VM:Backup is to write tape chaining information in the trailer labels of tapes it uses in backup and MPC jobs
Identifies a minidisk to which CA VM:Backup can write DASDtape data
Specifies how CA VM:Backup should handle releasing tape drives that have been attached to the CA VM:Backup service virtual machine
Specifies the user IDs to receive tape mount requests and other tape-related messages
Defines a resource pool to CA VM:Backup and specifies the action CA VM:Backup should take when the resource pool is exhausted
Specifies the tape data set security code for sites that allow an OS system to reuse expired CA VM:Backup tapes
Specifies how long CA VM:Backup is to wait for the tape operator to respond to a tape-related request (for example, to mount a tape volume or override the expiration date on a tape)
For a CA VM:Backup backup or MPC job, indicates that CA VM:Backup should ask the tape operator for permission to overwrite an unexpired tape that was mounted for the backup or MPC job
For backup jobs submitted by authorized clients that contain more than one data set, indicates that CA VM:Backup is to ask the tape operator for permission to overwrite an existing data set on the mounted tape
Specifies how long CA VM:Backup is to wait for users to detach a minidisk to which CA VM:Backup cannot link during a restore, or how long CA VM:Backup waits for a minidisk or file space to be quiesced for a backup
