You may store and restore spool files in NMS format or in SPOOK5/SPXFER format.

NMS format

To store or restore one or more spool files in NMS format to tape, use this combination:

  • the STORE command.

  • the RESTORE command

The STORE and RESTORE commands create and restore spool files only in the NMS format. Such spool files cannot be restored to MPE V/E systems.

SPOOK5/SPFXFER

To store and restore spool files in a SPOOK5 or SPFXFER format, use the SPXFER utility.

The CI STORE command accommodates the storing of nonprivate output spool files to tape. You may store your own nonprivate output spool files that are in OUT.HPSPOOL and that are linked to the spooling subsystem. You do not need system manager or account manager capabilities. You cannot store or restore input spool files because they are private files.

The RESTORE command accommodates the restoring of output spool files from tape. A spool file successfully restored to OUT.HPSPOOL is automatically linked to the spooling subsystem. The spool file's SPOOLID is changed to match the name assigned by the file management routines.

NOTE: Spool Files on a STORE/RESTORE tape cannot be restored to an MPE V/E or MPE/iX spooler systems that do not contain NMS. Spool files stored on tape with either the SPOOK or SPOOK5 utility cannot be restored with STORE/RESTORE.

To store spool file O23, enter:

   FILE SPBACKUP ;DEV=TAPE

   STORE O23.OUT.HPSPOOL ;*SPBACKUP ;SHOW

To store from indirect file INDFILE, an ASCII file that contains the following:

   O234.OUT.HPSPOOL,O456.OUT.HPSPOOL;SHOW



   STORE ^INDFILE; *T

Suppose that your spool files O12, O34, and O56 are stored to tape and suppose that you are USER, the creating user, and are in the group and account GROUP.ACCOUNT at store time. The spool files themselves reside in OUT.HPSPOOL. Now suppose that you want NEWUSER to be the creator of the spool files when you restore them.

Enter:

   RESTORE *T ;@.OUT.HPSPOOL

   ;CREATOR=NEWUSER 

The spool files are in OUT.HPSPOOL and NEWUSER.ACCOUNT is the creator of the spool files. The names of the spool files are changed to match the SPOOLID names assigned by the file management routines and are automatically linked to the spool file directory (SPFDIR).
