I haven't tried this as yet, but I believe the syntax to be:
PARALLEL command1 command2 ... SERIAL command3 Where the commands after SERIAL will wait until ALL commands between PARALLEL and SERIAL have been completed. Robert R.

I am testing a script that would execute some daily routines, Such as backing up storage pools and updating the backuppool (disk) right now these routines are executed as Administrative Schedules. >From what I have read, This command (Serial) is used to ensure that any preceding commands tasks are complete before proceeding with the next command in the script. The script below is the one that I am testing and would like to execute. Can anyone find any parameter that I may be missing if any? /* run multiple commands in Serial and wait for each one of them to /* complete their tasks before proceeding with the next command*/ Serial /* Backup Diskpool, Update Disk stgpool Backup Primary Tapepool*/ BA STG backuppool R3592POOL maxpr=x preview=no wait=yes update stgpool backuppool highmig=xx lowmig=xx wait=yes BA STG H3592POOL R3592POOL maxpr=x preview=no wait=yes /* Wait for previous commands task to finish */ Thanks for any help in advance!
