406.0. "Does ABS write Notes to MDMS Db as SLS did?" by ATZIS2::ARCH_R (Raimund ARCH,MCS Austria *791/2259) Tue Mar 25 1997 10:19

    
        Hello,
    
        as a customer complains there are no Notes written to MDMS DB
        with a ABS Save request
            for example:
    
    $ ABS SAVE/NAME=DLY_VAX/OBJECT=VMS_FILES/LOCK=HOT/INCREMENTAL-
    /DATA_SAFETY=CRC/SEQ=OVERLAPPED/RETAIN=15/DATE_SEL=LAST_BACKUP -
            SIMDS1SYS:,-
            SIMDS1A: ...
    
    
    $ STOR REP VOL VOL,POOL=SIMDS1/WID=6,FLAG=(FREE,DOWN)/WID=6,NOTES
        
    	gives 
    
    		                          Volume Database File Report
    Volume    Pool    Status  Notes

    300467    SIMDS1  Alloc
    300468    SIMDS1  Alloc
    300469    SIMDS1  Alloc
     
    
    	In the example above the Volumes with Note entries have been
    	used by SLS System Backups.
    	
    	Question:
    	Is or will there be a way to force ABS to make NOTE Entries
    	in the MDMS DB (I know it can be done with STOR ADD...) ?

	I had a customer asking for the same functionality yesterday as well.

	There's currently no way. The only way is to go to the product manager (judy COOKIE:: Cross) to get it implemented into the next version of the product. Hans van Sluis
