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:

          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:

          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.
