- Hello; I am a mainframe applications software consultant here at Temple U.
- My boss and I have been trying to talk our VM systems people into putting
- VMArchive into general production for the past couple of years and they
- always come back to us with lame excuses as to why they won't do it. After
- quite some time, we were able to have VMArchive put into production in a
- minimal way. If our systems folks had their way, they would remove VMArchive
- from our 3084-Q entirely. As it is, files are moved between the staging are
- and tape only twice a day; at 8:00 and 13:00. We want to increase this to at
- least once an hour. We also want to allow users to archive files on
- temporary disk which is currently not possible here. I am wondering what
- your experiences with VMArchive are. How many people on your system use
- VMArchive and how did you set it up? If this is a FAQ, please respond
- personally. It would also be nice to chat with folks at other VM sites that
- use VMArchive in the event our systems folks have further arguments against
- this idea. It would probably make more sense for one of our systems analysts
- to send a posting on this matter to L-VMCTR, but I guess they don't do such
- things since it is not in their contract.
-
- Thanks in advance.
