Offload power queues without cartridges
Victor Echavarry
Is there a way to offload the power queues using VTAPE, FTP or any other media different than cartridge?

If you have Dynam/T, that can ‘automate’ the process, as well. We ran that way for a few years, before we acquired our current Virtual Tape boxes. I presume that EPIC could do it, too, although I have no experience with EPIC.

It is a bit of a manual process to offload to VTAPE. But I wrote a REXX routine to automate the process. So, yeah, it can be done.

We use VTAPE with EPIC, using Standard labels
/. USER STANDARD LABELS PRODUCTION EPIC
// TLBL D1RDR,'D1.POWER.RDR.QUE',,,,,,64
// TLBL D1LST,'D1.POWER.LST.QUE',,,,,,64
// TLBL RDRALL,'D1.WKYRDR.QUE',,,,,,64
The operator (or automatic process) enters the following:
o backup,all,32b,,tlbl=d1rdr (32b is tape cuu)

"cartridge" (file), and Dave Clark's POFFLOAD rexx is needed to know when to VTAPE STOP (thanks
again, Dave):
// SETPARM VCUU=58E
// SETPARM VTAPEFN='/VTAPE/POWER.LST.BUP'
// VTAPE START,UNIT=&VCUU,LOC=VTAP.INTRA.LOCAL,FILE='&VTAPEFN'
// MTC REW,&VCUU
// EXEC REXX=POFFLOAD,PARM='O PICKUP,LST,&VCUU,,*'
// VTAPE STOP,UNIT=&VCUU
With Dynam/T, PWRCUU setting in system options:
POWER Dummy CUU: 58F
Power needs to see the tape label:
// TLBL DYNPOW,'POWER.LST.BUP,Z,DL'
Data set e.g.
DEFINE 'POWER.LST.BUP' NGEN=5 VIRTAPE=VTAPE
Then just:
o pickup,lst,58f,,*,tlbl=dynpow

for Power messages.

I don't understand why you would want to exclude options of that nature.

That's what POFFLOAD rexx does..
A minor problem with that method is that you need to know all the possible messages indicating that
a process has ended. With new VSE features, e.g. Power POFFLOAD process might end with a new message
which is not recognized by the POFFLOAD rexx causing the automatized poffload job never ends.
When you said there are other ways to know when POFFLOAD process has ended, I thought there might be
e.g. some Power macro or some other interface to Power which would allow to run poffload
syncronously in a job. That would be interesting new information to me :)
