Robot Save Commands

RBS

Displays the Robot Save Main Menu.

RBSACTLOG

Displays the activity log.

RBSADDALL

Continues processing the volumes whose archive history is being added by the RBSADDTAP command.

RBSADDCLS

Adds a Robot Save backup class.

RBSADDLIB

Adds a library to an existing backup class and set. You then can save the library as part of that set.

RBSADDLIBS

Adds multiple libraries to multiple backup sets.

RBSADDSET

Adds a Robot Save backup set.

RBSADDTAP

Adds archive history from volumes used outside of Robot Save.

RBSADDVOL

Adds pre-existing volumes to the Robot Save database.

RBSAMLEJT

Ejects volumes from an AML.

RBSAMLLRN

Inserts volumes into an Automated Media Library (AML).

RBSAMLSYNC

Synchronizes an AML with the volume information in Robot Save on a system in a data center after tapes have been added using the RBSAMLLRN command. Run the command on each system connected to the AML.

RBSAUTOMOV

Moves backup set volumes that are controlled by auto move-type move sets to the next location. This command runs automatically after each backup that uses move sets. You can set up this command in Robot Schedule to run on the days a backup doesn’t run.

RBSCHGOWN

Changes the owner of objects in a library. Use this command when the user profile that created the objects is not on the system and the owner of the objects has been changed to a default owner when the object was restored.

RBSCHGTAP

Changes the save device used by a backup class or a backup set.

RBSCHGVOL

Changes the location of a single volume.

RBSCHKINV

Checks the inventory levels of volumes in the scratch pool and sends a pager message if the level drops below a specified minimum.

RBSCLR

Starts the Robot GUIDE automatic setup process. The command clears all Robot Save files. Warning: Use this command only if you're going to set up Robot Save. Once the files have been cleared, you cannot recover any data.

RBSCRTMDFN

Creates media definitions for parallel operations that use more than one tape device simultaneously. Robot Save uses an IBM API to create media definitions specifying the tape drives, volumes, and sequences needed to run the operation.

RBSCRTRST

Creates a save file that contains the programs and restore encrypted data commands required to restore any object encrypted by Robot Save on a system that does not have the current version of Robot Save installed.

RBSDLTCLS

Deletes a class and all of its related information.

RBSDSPLOG

Displays the job log of the current RBSSave job. If more than one job is running, you can pick which job log you want to display.

RBSDSPMDFN

Displays a media definition.

RBSDUPROT

Duplicates all volumes in a specific class/set/rotation combination. Use the RBSDUPASN parameters within this command to assign the duplicate volumes to a class/set/rotation. Otherwise, they'll be tracked as *ADHOC volumes.

RBSDUPASN

Assigns the duplicate volumes created by RBSDUPROT to a specific class/set/rotation combination. Can be used within the RBSDUPROT command.

RBSEJQVOL

Ejects volumes queued for ejection in an AML.

RBSENDDCMS

Ends the Robot Save data center monitor jobs.

RBSENDSBS

This data set command ends all subsystems defined to a backup class and set.

RBSGENOMIT

Allows you to omit libraries from backup set types 7 (SAVLIB *ALLUSR) and A (SAVCHGOBJ *ALLUSR) saves by using a wildcard character to specify generic library names.

RBSINZ

Initializes new tapes and add them to a backup class, set, and rotation.

RBSINZOPT

Specifies whether applications outside of Robot Save will be allowed to initialize mounted volumes. Note: If you choose to allow mounted volumes to be initialized, it is possible to overwrite valid Robot Save data.

RBSINZAML

Allows you to initialize all AML volumes in the scratch pool that have been marked for initialization. Marking a volume for initialization changes the reserved system name to *INZTAP. The RBSINZAML command initializes the volumes with a reserved system name of *INZTAP.

RBSINZTAP

Initializes media volumes. This command allows you to override any warnings about a volume and proceed with the initialization.

RBSLIBMNT

Displays the Robot Save Library Maintenance panel, which displays Robot Save library information.

RBSLOC2LOC

Turns Robot Save activity logging on or off.

RBSMOVVOL

Move volumes from one location or container to another.

RBSMRKPRT

Marks volume labels used in tape operations for printing.

RBSMTMSG

Notify the user to mount the tapes for the backup set rotation for the save operation. The command suspends the job and waits for the user to mount the tapes and respond that the tapes have been mounted before it continues with the job.

RBSNOAUTO

Prevents Robot Save from automatically initializing tape volumes that currently are not defined to Robot Save. See the appendix for a complete discussion of the rules for automatic assignment of tapes.

RBSOPR

Displays the Robot Save Main Menu with just the first four operator options, excluding the system setup options.

RBSOPRMNU

Displays the Backup Operations Menu from any command entry line.

RBSOVREXP

Changes the expiration date for volumes used in ad hoc tape operations.

RBSPRTMRKL

Prints labels that have been marked for printing.

RBSRDSTLB

Displays the Redistribute Libraries panel, which allows you to select a save strategy while bypassing the backup class worksheet. Robot Save then sets up the strategy you selected.

RBSRDVOLTP

Adds an on-site preexisting volume to a rotation or the scratch pool. You must load the tape before issuing this command, which then reads the tape and adds it to the class, set, and rotation.

RBSRECEND

Use this command in conjunction with the RBSRECORD command to end the automatic tracking of tapes.

RBSRECORD

Allows volumes to be tracked for saves performed outside of Robot Save.

RBSRELATE

Relates all the freed objects of type *FILE in an object list to the object list.

RBSRESTORE

Allows you to restore any library object that has been saved by Robot Save, including the Robot Reports archive saved using the Robot Reports backup class.

RBSRLSEXTP

Releases all expired, on-site volumes to the scratch pool from those classes set up as automatic release. You can set up this command on Robot Schedule to be run automatically. The command does not run if a save is executing.
