Job Template File Commands

The commands that are available on the Manage Job Templates screen are listed below. To work with an existing file, enter the appropriate command in the Command column next to the file. To create a file, enter the appropriate command on the command line.

BCREATE/template

Enter on: Command line

Creates a new backup job template file named template. This name corresponds to a CMS filename and must be a unique job template file name that contains 1-8 characters.

COPY/template

Enter in: Command column

Creates a new job template file by copying an existing definition. Template is the name of the new job template file.

For example, you can copy a full backup job template file to create an incremental backup job template file. The new incremental backup job template file backs up the same data that is specified in the original full backup job template file.

DISCARD

Enter in: Command column

Deletes a job template file.

PRINT

Enter in: Command column

Sends a report to your virtual printer that describes the job according to the definitions you specify on the job template file. If an exception or exclusion file is specified on the job template file, the report also lists any exceptions or exclusions defined for the job.

The PRINT command prints information about the entire job. PF11 (Print) prints the job template file definition screens one screen at a time.

RENAME/template

Enter in: Command column

Renames an existing job template file; template is the new name of the job template file.

TEST

Enter in: Command column

Sends to your virtual printer a report that describes the job according to the definitions that you specify on the job template file. This test report also specifically identifies each minidisk or file space to be included in the job.

If an exception file is specified, the report indicates the options that are specified in the exception file. If an exclusion file is specified, the report does not show the minidisks, file spaces, or user IDs that were excluded.

UPDATE
