Hello Dennis,

We use an administrative schedule for copying our tapepool to a copypool
(see also ADSM Reference Guide, page 218, Syntax for Defining Administrative
Command Schedules)

Best regards, Kirsten.

According to Dennis Lovelady:

> Hi, ADSM experts:

> We have recently installed ADSM, and are looking for guidelines.
> I would like to know what steps others are using for copying their
> tapes to a copypool, and sending them offsite.  We have tried to
> accomplish this with a ksh script, but we have run into problems
> since we can't seem to control the order of server actions
>    (for example, if we issue:
>         dsmadmc -id=admin -pw=${PASSWORD} "ba stg tapepool1 copypool5"
>         dsmadmc -id=admin -pw=${PASSWORD} "q libv"
>     we get the output from "q libv" immediately, rather than waiting
>     until the "ba stg..." is complete)
>
> So, we are curious about how others are doing this, and would greatly
> appreciate you sharing your expertise to this newbie.

> Thanks in advance.
