Previous Topic: Restore Link (VMBEXIT4) User ExitNext Topic: Return Codes


Calling Argument

The Restore Link user exit takes the following parameters:

userid uservaddr linkmode

Definitions

userid

Identifies the owner of the target minidisk for the restored data.

uservaddr

Identifies the virtual address of the target minidisk.

linkmode

Identifies the link mode CA VM:Backup uses to link to the target minidisk. This is the only parameter that the VMBEXIT4 user exit can change.

CA VM:Backup recognizes these CP link modes: write (W), mult (M), write/read (WR), mult/read (MR), mult/write (MW), exclusive (EW), stable write (SW), and stable mult (SM).

CA VM:Backup requires a write link to the target minidisk for a restore job. Therefore, CA VM:Backup treats a link mode of WR as W, and MR as M.
