Re: [EXTERNAL] ADRDSSU DUMP/RESTORE

Does the EMC software have an equivalent option to ADRDSSU COPY DUMPCONDITIONING parameter? At my last job we did something similar, but using ADRDSSU all the way thru. The COPY step with DUMPCOND would perform the full volume copy, but leave the VTOC and VVS names with the original volser. T

Re: ADRDSSU DUMP/RESTORE

It's pretty simple if you are only using the snap to create a full volume dump and you can use FlashCopy instead of snap. (Not sure if there is a separate license on the EMC box for this). DSS COPY FULL with DUMPCONDITIONING will copy the source volser and put it on the target volume such that

Re: Explanation of TCBPFK

To clarify, an S0C4 can have any of the interrupt codes 4, 10, 11, 2B, 38, 39, 3A, 3B, and only 4 can relate to the protection key. Does anybody have any statistics on the relative frequencies of S0C4 IC 4 for key mismatch, fetch protect, low storage protect, page protect and segment protect?

Strangely enough, PIC-5 was not wrapped into 0C4. Of course, PIC-5 cannot occur with DAT (unless, I guess, the page or segment table entry points to non-existant storage). On Mon, 27 Jan 2025 11:33:42 + Seymour J Metz wrote: :>To clarify, an S0C4 can have any of the interrupt codes 4, 10,

I would never use zero as it is fraught with dangers. Key0 is much more dangerous than supervisor state. So I never thought of it. So it looks like key 0 is a special case for a subtask. On Mon, 27 Jan 2025 11:15:58 + Seymour J Metz wrote: :>ATTACH KEY=PROP | ZERO :> :>Note the restrictions
