Dumping jobs to tape in server mode

The following example shows how to dump jobs to tape when dump job is in server mode. The first thing that needs to be done is to *CALL the dump job DSP; then a standard labeled tape is created on device 560. Because device 560 is defined as a JES3 managed device, it must be varied online as an execution device to the global processor (SY1).

*V,560,ON,SY1

IAT8180 0560     VARIED ONLINE  TO JES3 ON SY1

*X,DJ,OUT=560,LABEL=SL,SERVER=YES
Instead of using a specific device, a generic or esoteric device name could have been specified on the *CALL command. In this case, the device name must be enclosed in parentheses: 
*X,DJ,OUT=(3490),LABEL=SL,SERVER=YES
or 
*X,DJ,OUT=(LDE10435),SERVER=YES
As a result of the *CALL command, a dump job server address space is started. The dump job server address space initializes and allocates the tape device. The tape device is allocated with deferred mounting so you will not see any IAT5210 messages asking the operator to mount the tape if this is a JES3 managed device. A mount message (IEC501A) will be issued when a *START,DJ command is issued and the tape data set is opened.

After the dump job server address space has successfully initialized, dump job issues the messages below to show that it is ready to begin dumping jobs to tape. Message IAT7272 contains the name of the tape data set that will contain the jobs that are dumped to tape. This data set name must be specified on the *CALL,DJ command when you restore the jobs from tape. 
IAT7272 DJ0560 (JOB00033): OUTDSN=JES3.DJ.D1998091.T163039

*IAT7228 ISSUE START OR CANCEL FOR DJ (JOB00033) (0560)
The data set name that is generated is different for standard label tapes versus unlabeled tapes. For standard label tapes, the data set name has the following format, where jesn is the JES3 subsystem name. 
jesn.DJ.Dyyyyddd.Thhmmss
For unlabeled tapes, the data set name is not unique and has the following format, where jesn is the JES3 subsystem name. 
jesn.DJOUT
To dump jobs to tape, issue the *START,DJ command and specify which jobs you want dumped. In the example that follows, jobs in priority 4 will be dumped to tape: 
*S,DJ,P=4
As a result of the *START command, dump job dumps the requested jobs to tape: 
*IEC501A M 0560,TAPVOL,SL,,IEESYSAS,DJ000034

You can now issue additional *START,DJ commands to dump other jobs to tape. When you are finished dumping jobs to tape, you can cancel the DJ DSP. As a result, the dump job server address space will close the tape data set and end.
