PM70976: MULTI-TASK THE OFFLOAD AND OBJECT COLLECTION PROCESS.

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Enhancement to allow users to defer the collection of object
  level information from Recovery Expert backup step to the
  Offload step.  When a new control card 'DEFER-OBJ-COLLECTION' is
  added to the backup job, the collection of object level
  information is not performed at system backup time.  When the
  system backup is offloaded to tape, the object collection will
  occur in parallel with the tape offload process.  This will help
  users who have a short time window to process system level
  backups.
