Allowing Users Back on the System
If you prevented users from accessing the system during your backup, as
discussed in Chapter 4, "Preparing the System," you need to allow users
to access the system again.
To allow users access to the system again, perform the following:
1. Reset the job and sessions limits to their original values.
Enter:
:LIMIT nn,nn
2. To check that you've used the correct numbers, enter:
:SHOWJOB STATUS
The last line should report the correct job limit (JLIMIT) and
session limit (SLIMIT) for your computer. If the values are
incorrect enter the LIMIT command again with the corrected values.
3. Reset the system jobfence to its original value by entering:
:JOBFENCE nn
4. To check that the jobfence is correct, enter:
:SHOWJOB STATUS
If the jobfence value is incorrect, enter the JOBFENCE command
with the correct value.
5. Restart any suspended jobs. To determine whether any jobs had
been temporarily stopped, enter:
:SHOWJOB
The system lists your session and any suspended jobs in the
following way:
__________________________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| JOBNUM STATE IPRI JIN JLIST INTRODUCED JOB NAME |
| #S185 EXEC 20 20 FRI 1:03P OPERATOR.SYS |
| #J17 SUSP 10S PP FRI 5:02P AJOB,MRS.T |
| 2 JOBS: |
| 0 INTRO; 0 SCHEDULED |
| 0 WAIT; INCL 0 DEFERRED |
| 1 EXEC; INCL 1 SESSIONS |
| 1 SUSP |
| |
| JOBFENCE= nn; JLIMIT= nn; SLIMIT= nn |
| |
__________________________________________________________________________
Figure 8-2. Listing Suspended Jobs
The example shows one suspended job (#J17). To restart that job,
enter:
:RESUMEJOB #J17
Repeat the RESUMEJOB command for each job listed as SUSP. When you
have done this for each suspended job, check that all have been
restarted by entering:
:SHOWJOB
The list should look nearly identical, except that jobs that were
suspended before should now be listed as executing or EXEC:
__________________________________________________________________________
| |
| |
| JOBNUM STATE IPRI JIN JLIST INTRODUCED JOB NAME |
| #S185 EXEC 20 20 FRI 1:03P OPERATOR.SYS |
| #J17 EXEC 10S PP FRI 5:02P AJOB,MRS.T |
| |
| 2 JOBS: |
| 0 INTRO; 0 SCHEDULED |
| 0 WAIT; INCL 0 DEFERRED |
| 2 EXEC; INCL 1 SESSIONS |
| 0 SUSP |
| JOBFENCE= nn; JLIMIT= nn; SLIMIT= nn |
| |

Figure 8-3. Listing Resumed Jobs
When you have returned the system to its normal status and
restarted suspended jobs, the backup is complete, and users can
begin using the system again.
