Backing up ROBOTLIB With a Robot/SCHEDULE Job

When making a backup of ROBOTLIB (daily backups, for instance), the product must be inactive. You can accomplish this with a CL program running from a Robot/SCHEDULE job. The following CL example saves only ROBOTLIB, but could be modified to save *ALLUSR, *NONSYS, or a list of libraries.

Note: A batch subsystem must be active for this example job to run.

  2. Create a program-type Robot/SCHEDULE job that calls the CL Program. Name the job the same name as the CL Program.
  3. Schedule this job to run with your daily backups.
