Hi Peter,

According to IBM, even if the RC is zero, you may have some errors
(minor).
You should always check your *log files.

Subject: DSMC I - via batch - Is a 0 retrun code valid?

Because the backups of our clients are dependant on other tasks and
resources we do all our scheduling via an external scheduler (ECS).

I run a simple script to backup the client which basically issues the DSMC
I command and exits with the rc

My concern is that there is an error in the backup (ANS1802E Incremental
backup of '/opt/adsm' finished with 1 failure ) and yet the script ends
rc=0.

Is my script too simple? Does anyone do anything similar and has some
method to track these errors?


/usr/adsm/dsmc i

STATUS=$?
echo $STATUS
exit $STATUS
