56 Using %OMABAKUP on z/OS R Chapter 7
Using %OMABAKUP on z/OS
Use the following steps to execute %OMABAKUP on z/OS:
1 First, create a directory in the path where the backup files will be stored. For
z/OS, the following path is recommended:
/usr/lpp/SAS/config-dir-name/Lev1/SASBackup
Note: The full pathname of a backup repository cannot exceed 200 characters. R
Use operating system permissions to secure the directory. The permissions
should deny access to anyone other than the user who will run the backup
program.
2 Create a CONFIG data set that contains a server connection statement. The
syntax for the server connection statement is as follows:
options metaserver=hostname
metaport=port-number
metaprotocol="bridge"
metauser="administrative-userID"
metapass="encoded-password"
metarepository="Foundation";
For an explanation of the parameters, see “Server Connection Statement:
Reference” on page 59.
Save the file using the name &prefix.WO.SRVCFG(BACKUP).
3 Next, create a batch job that does the following:
3 starts SAS.
3 references the CONFIG data set that contains the server connection
statement.
3 executes the %OMABAKUP macro, with appropriate options. The syntax for
an %OMABAKUP statement is as follows:
%omabakup(DestinationPath="pathname",
ServerStartPath="pathname",
RposmgrPath="pathname",
,
,
)
For an explanation of the parameters, see “%OMABAKUP Statement:
Reference” on page 59.
3 Include job control language (JCL) that specifies where to write the log in the
batch job that invokes %OMABAKUP—for example:
//SASLOG DD DSN=USERID.OMABAKUP.LOG, DISP=SHR
Here is an example of a batch job that runs on z/OS and stores the backup files on
a UNIX machine:
//BACKUP JOB (R4221),"myname",
// MSGCLASS=A,
// TIME=(5)
