Please do. I believe it will be helpful for customers to understand
this. It will also be described in the documentation.

| 421.3 | Inquiries on ABS's internal backup schedule | HLSM01::HENK_H | Henk Hofman @UTO | Tue Apr 15 1997 03:26 | 24 |
| Re .0
Some practical questions.
- Can you get from ABS an overview, in one go or one save at a time, what
settings ABS is using for the full backups. In your example the FULL will
run on monday but is there a way to tell from the 'outside'.
- Is there a way to change the full-setting for a specific save request ?
Full backups often run sometime in the weekend and testing a full is
not what I have in mind as nicest thing to do for the weekend.
(Other then creating two identical save requests, one for testing
purposes and another as 'the real thing').
- In your example the full backup runs on monday but day-to-day operations
may require this weeks full on tuesday how do you accomplish this ?
I know how to use special days in the scheduler but restore-time and
or media-movement requirements can imply that skipping this weeks full
is not an option.

| 421.4 | How to move the FULL-Save day now ? | ATZIS1::PIEBER | chaos has many faces | Fri Apr 18 1997 10:59 | 21 |
| Hi,
can somebody shed some light on this ? I have been told, that WFDI is a
'set-and-forget' type schedule. However, if I need to move the FULL
save from the original day (as is the case at a production site here)
to different day, I can see only one way to accomplish this:
� delete the SR and start over.
However, this certainly has a price:
� I have to use ABS DELETE SAVE/OVER to get it done at all.
� create a new SR with the same characteristics, but now a different
start date.
� What about the restore ? Having a reference count greater than zero
obviously means, that the structure I am removing is still of value
to another structure (UID in catalog ?).
Can I restore data backed up before the delete of SR at all ?

Ewald,
Your solution of how to get around to rest the FULL save schedule
is correct.
About restoring the files after deleting the originating restore
request, this should not be a problem, as long as the catalog and
the tape media are kept.
Let me think about if I can come up with a easier a way to reet
the FULL date.
For now, your method is correct.

| 421.6 | Here's the way | COOKIE::MHUA | | Fri Apr 18 1997 17:17 | 22 |

Ewald,
I figured out the way to reset the FULL schedule from GUI. Here's
how you do it.
1. On GUI, get into SET SAVE screen and chose "scheduling and retention
option".
2. On schedule interval field, pull the option down and rest the
option to "daily incremental with Full weekly" - although it's
the same option used, this will cause a field in internal ABS to reset.
3. Make sure to change the start time field to the date/time you want
the operation to restart.
4. Click enough OK buttons to get out of GUI.
After this, the next operation will be FULL again.

| 421.7 | I'll check it... | ATZIS3::PIEBER | chaos has many faces | Mon Apr 21 1997 09:29 | 8 |
| Hi Masami,
thanks for the input. If this really works to shift the full day,
*PLEASE* make sure, it gets included into the docs.
I ask the customer to check this and come back with the results.
Ewald.

| 421.8 | How to tell on what day the Full will run... | HLSM01::HENK_H | Henk Hofman @UTO | Tue Apr 22 1997 03:40 | 8 |
| Re .6
Thanks for this solution, it answers question-2 and -3 from 421.3.
Remaining question from 421.3 is how to tell from the outside on what day
ABS will run the Full Backup.

|
The only reference material we have to see which day what schedule
(full or what level of incremental) is appendix D of ABS doc. The day 1
of schedule is FULL, based on that, you should be able to tell
which level should run on a particular day.

| 421.10 | Consider this a requirement for a future version? | BIGUN::KEOGH | I choose to enter this note now. | Thu May 01 1997 02:10 | 14 |
| Masami,
I would consider this a request for functionality in a future version.
Several other scheduling products provide a capability to answer "what if"
questions such as this. Have a look at CA UNICENTER Workload scheduling
for example.
Questions such as "what backups will run tonight?" or "when will this full
backup run?" are frequently asked in support of scheduling other events
(downtime etc.), so it would be good if ABS had a method of answering these
questions.
Regards,
Patrick

Hi,
Will you summerize the requirements and send it to
COOKIE::CROSS (Judy Cross). I will point to her that this note entry
contains a future requirement. However, to make sure your request
is correctly reflected in our requirements list, we prefer for you
to write down a paragraph or two about how you want this feature to
work and send it to Judy.
Thank you,
Masami
