The BS2000 backup monitor is integrated in the SE Manager's main menu Applications as an SE management application. The BS2000 backup monitor provides information on the status of the backup requests which were assigned in the SE server's BS2000 systems with the software products HSMS and FDDRL. For requests which have terminated, HSMS provides a request log in PDF format for the BS2000 backup monitor.
The following requests are monitored:
Backup
Restoring data
Migration (HSMS only)
Archival (HSMS only)
Copying save files, including archive reorganization runs (HSMS only)
Exporting and importing files (HSMS only)
- Version backup (HSMS only)
- Reorganization of version backup (HSMS only)
The display of a BS2000 system's HSMS requests is controlled using the following settings:
Globally using the HSMS parameter MONITORING (MODIFY-HSMS-PARAMETERS statement)
On an archive-specific basis using the archive attribute MONITORING (CREATE-ARCHIVE or MODIFY-ARCHIVE-ATTRIBUTES statement)
When combined, these settings have the following effect:
MONITORING=*ALL is set globally: monitoring is enabled globally for all requests regardless of the archive-specific setting.
MONITORING=*BY-ARCHIVE-ATTRIBUTES is set globally: only requests which relate to archives with the setting MONITORING=*STD are displayed.
MONITORING=*SYSHSMS-ONLY is set globally: only requests which relate to archives under the user ID SYSHSMS are displayed. Requests which do not concern any archives (IMPORT-FILES and EXPORT-FILES) are displayed only if they were started under a user ID with the HSMS-ADMINISTRATOR privilege.
MONITORING=*NONE is set globally: monitoring is disabled globally for all requests regardless of the archive-specific setting.
Log in PDF file
At the end of the HSMS run, a log file with the following name is generated in PDF format:
$SYSHSMS.HSM.C.SYSHSMS.<date_time>.PDF
When the request is deleted, the PDF file is also deleted. Only the system can access this file.
If the request is restarted with //RESTART-REQUEST, the log file and thus the PDF file is created anew.
In case when MONITORING parameter is enabled and OUTPUT parameter value is equal to *NONE, only log file in PDF format will be generated.
In HSMS V11.0 and higher, the log file is created in PDF format via the CONV2PDF subsystem.
If an error occurs or the subsystem is not available, HSMS creates the PDF file as previously using the $DHSCFTP procedure from the SYSPRC.HSSM.<version> library. Only in this case a temporary working file is necessary (see also “Temporary files” in "Work files").
