The following TurboSTORE/iX restore options cannot be used as they are replaced
by the standard Data Protector functionality: COPYACD, KEEP,NEWDATE, NOACD,
OLDDATE, and SHOW.
Pre- and post-exec commands
Before backup or restore, you may want to check the number of files to back up,
stop some transaction processing, or shut down a database. Such actions are
performed using pre- and post-exec commands, which are not supplied by Data
Protector. Depending on your need, you may prepare your own executables that
perform the required actions.
To execute pre- and post-exec commands, enter /bin/sh and the full script pathname
in the pre-exec and post-exec fields.
Example
/bin/sh /usr/omni/bin/script_name
Shell script can contain commands for job streaming:
callci stream job_file_name
Example
callci stream MYJOB.SYS.PUB
NOTE:
Make sure the permissions for pre- and post-exec commands are set properly before
starting backup or restore.
For more information on pre- and post-exec commands, see the online Help index:
“pre- and post-exec commands”.
Disaster recovery
Disaster recovery on MPE/iX is performed manually and involves recovering the
system using the SLT tape. In addition, Data Protector is used to restore all files,
including the system directory information.
