Standard Planning and Management
Once you have configured TMF and started your OLTP applications, there is typically
very little management to be done. On a day-to-day basis, operators will routinely:
•
Monitor system activity using TMFCOM STATUS and INFO commands
•
Mount tapes for audit dumps in response to EMS event messages
•
Mount tapes for online dumps and initiate the dumps by issuing a DUMP FILES
command

Recovery Guide.
