BackPak H4.00 Catalog Sync Option

Initial setup
21 BackPak H4.00 Catalog Sync Option
Export Report Location: location of the export process log. A spooler location is
suggested to hold more than the latest execution log.
Export Destination: identifies the staging area, a remote subvol where export files
will be written. The presence of an Export Destination is the trigger to execute
exports.
Process Priority: priority of the started Export process. If it is not specified (value
zero), the export processes will inherit the priority of the domain manager BBSV
process as started by the LISTNER process.
Include DSM/TC Disk File entries: if un-checked, the DISKFILE entries created by
BACKUP executed with the CATALOGFILES option will never be sent by to the remote
staging area. When checked:
- automatic Export Updates will send DISKFILE entries,
- Exports initiated by the GUI and TACL macro will send the DISKFILEs depending
on a request parameter
Schedule batch on the primary side
Export updates are internally initiated by the BackPak operations that can change the status
of a tape volume. Other systematic exports must be scheduled in NetBatch jobs running the
BB026_EXPORT_CATALOG macro.
It is suggested to schedule a monthly re-synchronization export (TYPE FULL) that resends all
BackPak volumes and all related DSM/TC TAPEVOLUME and TAPEFILE entries, but not the
DISKFILE (CATALOGFILES NO).
On the secondary site, the corresponding import (TYPE FULL, CATALOGFILES NO) is normally
scheduled to run after this monthly export.
BB026_EXPORT_CATALOG macro
Macro syntax:
LOAD /KEEP 1/ BBOX.BBSETUP BBOX.MACROS
BB026_EXPORT_CATALOG STOREID {stored-id | ALL},
[, CATALOGFILES {YES | NO}]
[, TYPE {FULL | UPDATE}]
This macro connects to the domain manager that will start an export process, whose priority
and output specifications are defined in the data store configuration.
STOREID Mandatory. Specifies the Data store to process.
ALL refers to all primary Data stores.
CATALOGFILES Optional. Specifies if DISKFILE entries must be exported.
TYPE Optional. Specify if the whole data store or only not yet exported
information must be exported.
