Jeff,
Here is the relevant parts of my backup job. This uses a DDS with autoreply
enabled for that device. It works fine. The only differences I see is that
I don't have the "load=online" parameter in my devctrl command, and my
version of ONLINE is different.
!DEVCTRL 7 COMPRESSION=ENABLE
!DEVCTRL 7 EJECT=DISABLE
!RUN BULDACCT.PUB.SYS;INFO="@"
!comment
!comment The file fulldate.jobs contains the last date a full backup was
!comment performed. If does not exist, or if today is Monday, perform a
!comment full backup.
!comment
!if hpday = 2 or (not (finfo("fulldate.jobs","exists"))) then
! STORE @[log in to unmask],@[log in to unmask]@[log in to unmask]@.SYS;*T;DIRECTORY;PROGRESS
! purge fulldate.jobs
! build fulldate.jobs;rec=-10,,f,ascii;disc=1
! file fulldate=fulldate.jobs,old;dev=disc
! setvar lastdate '!hpmonth' + '/' + '!hpdate' + '/' + '!hpyyyy'
! echo !lastdate>*fulldate
!else
! file fulldate=fulldate.jobs,old;dev=disc
! input lastdate<*fulldate
! STORE @[log in to unmask],@[log in to unmask]@[log in to unmask]@.SYS;*T;DIRECTORY;dates>=!lastdate;PROGRESS
!endif
!PURGE BULDJOB1
!PURGE BULDJOB2
!STREAM NETJSTRT.JOBS
!ONLINE 7
!DEVCTRL 7 EJECT=ENABLE
!VSTORE *T;@[log in to unmask]@;ONERR=QUIT
!DEVCTRL 7 EJECT=DISABLE
This is my online version:
