Execute Backup Job

Once the backup job has started executing, two JCL steps are performed. The first JCL step backs up the selected CDAM datasets to tape or cartridge. The second JCL step analyzes the results of the execution and updates the status of the entries in the Active User Report List file to indicate that the datasets have been backed up successfully.

If a backup mission fails while executing, you may have to run a BKPRESET job from the Control-D JCL library.
