Subject: Re: Creating SLT tape
Hi Wendell,
we run the following jobs once a week per box during midday.
Creation of a SLT is possible while users on the system but requires some
CPU time.
You may add NET, PUB, DIAG.SYS but parts of these groups are accessed as
long as users are there.
These three groups are recommended to be stored for patches because they
are essential to bring a system back in case of ...
In our job you will see:
* we store a special group only. In this group we copy the CONFIG.SYS of
the backup/contingency box for this CPU.
* we perform a SLT verify.
* we check the success of this verify and send messages to IT/O OpC if
needed.
Hope that will help, best regards, Andreas Schmidt, CSC, Germany

Subject: Creating SLT tape
In my meanderings through the mess my predecessor left me, I have found
that the last SLT tape made was two years ago! Considering the fact that
I need to make a new one, I have two questions:
1. Can I make it while users are on the system?
2. Are there any files that I should include on the tape besides what the
generic command in the sysgen tape command would provide?
Just thought of a third. The Performing System Management Tasks manual
states on page 2-8 that the SLT tape does not include the system
directory. Is that significant?
Thanks,
Wendell
