Odd situation

[november]

Hi all,

I have a strange situation. I used my old scripts from version 5.5 in version 6.1. Until now nothing much, all of them are administrative commands and they run smoothly, thou when i use a script that call other scripts in administrative scripts they fail. Really odd.

I have a script that stops diskpool migration, backup TSM DB, copy stgp, create a DB Snapshot, copy device conf and volhist and last of them, delete volhist. They all run ok separated, but calling them in a administrative scripts they dont run... i have a felling thats a bug when calling a script in a script.

Cheers

I couldn't find any APARs on this. How do you kick off the individual scripts from the master script? Perhaps you can paste a snippit of your master script here so we can take a look at it.

Hi again,

So my administrative task calls this scripts:

RUN MIGRATION_STOP
RUN BACK_TSMDB
RUN BACK_DISKPOOL
RUN BACK_ON_SITE_POOL
RUN SNAPSHOT_TSMDB
RUN BACK_VOL_HISTORY
RUN BACK_DEVCONFIG
RUN DEL_VOL_HISTORY

And this is what they do:

MIGRATION_STOP
UPDATE STGPOOL #DISKPOOL#L HIGHMIG=90 LOWMIG=10

BACK_TSMDB
BACKUP DB DEVCLASS=#TAPECLASS# TYPE=FULL SCRATCH=YES WAIT=YES

BACK_DISKPOOL
BACKUP STGPOOL #DISKPOOL# OFF_SITE_POOL MAXPROCESS=1 PREVIEW=NO WAIT=YES

BACK_ON_SITE_POOL
BACKUP STGPOOL #ONSITEPOOL# #OFFSITEPOOL# MAXPROCESS=1 PREVIEW=NO WAIT=YES

SNAPSHOT_TSMDB
BACKUP DB DEVCLASS=#TAPECLASS# TYPE=DBS SCRATCH=YES WAIT=YES

BACK_VOL_HISTORY
BACKUP VOLHISTORY FILENAMES="#VOLHISTPATH#"

BACK_DEVCONFIG
BACKUP DEVCONFIG FILENAMES="#DEVCONFIGPATH#"

DEL_VOL_HISTORY
DELETE VOLHISTORY TODATE=today-1 TYPE=DBBACKUP
DELETE VOLHISTORY TODATE=today-1 TYPE=DBS

Thanks in advance!

Whats in your activity log when you run your admin script?

keeping only last copy of your tsm dbb and dbs's it's a courage!

Do none of the run commands get executed? some? does it stop at a particular script each time?
