Hi,
We use DFDSS to backup our database files to tape. We are thinking of
also backing up to disk as well for our DRP. What would the DCB
information be for a disk backup using DFDSS?
Thanks

Re: Seven Ages of an IDMS Application
"An interesting issue. I helped put together a British Telecom IDMS
product in the 1980s (which may or may not be one of the
""un-decommissionable"" ones). And when we handed its maintenance over to
external contractors in 1988 the thing which struck me most is that the
data modeling needs to include the humans in the loop (operators,
designers, users, etc) as one of the most important entity types at the
Schema design stage. The Data Dictionary needs to be talking to future
generations of maintenance staff, every bit as much as specifying set
structures and storage arguments. My advice, therefore, is to get a load
of Superchief records added in with your next Service Pack release, so
that the mapping of the Schema core to the real world is that much more
transparent. Otherwise designers are such myopic creatures!
