Hello,

I have solved similar problems by including a loop in the script that queries 
ADSM untill it can see the required process etc.. has finished, and then exits 
the loop.

Similar to;


blah
blah
blah
finished=no
while
    [ ${finished} = no ]
do
    numproc=$(dsmadmc -id=pooh -pa=bear q pr  | grep -c "Move Data")
    if
        [ ${numproc} -eq 0 ]
    then
        finished=yes
    fi
done
#Will only continue if no movedatas are running

next bit
blah
blah blah

the above checks to make sure no movedatas  are running.

Okay I have it figured out how to do a storage pool backup within a script
and have the script wait for the command to complete before it executes the
next statement within the script. If I do a BACKUP STGPOOL xxx yyy WAIT=YES
the next command in the script does not execute until the first one
completes. Is there any way to produce similar results with the UPDATE
STGPOOL command? There is no WAIT option with the UPDATE STGPOOL command.
The reason I ask is I want execution within the script to wait until the
UPDATE STGPOOL command which set's off  migration to complete before I
execute the next UPDATE STGPOOL.

Any and all help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
