Function/feature

Business Justification: (Why? Non-technical business case description. Do not reword Detailed Problem Description from above. What are the benefits to be gained by your company, and the vendor and others?  Quantify: run time, dollars, manpower, etc.   Why should the vendor do this for the customer?)

 

FAVER2 is used for all backup functions with VSAM/EPIC/SD files.  Without this function, a separate product must be used to backup SNAPPED VSAM files. SNAPPED VSAM CATALOGs allow for backups while the source catalog is being processed.               

Solution: (Optional)(Desired/undesired elements Note: Making a suggestion may limit a vendors ability to deliver a solution)

 

SNAP catalog backups are available via IDCAMS BACKUP.  FAVER2 should be able to support all functions IDCAMS and VSAM have available.   

Impact: (Optional) (How will your company’s business be affected if a solution is not delivered?)

 

A separate solution will have to be found for all SNAPPED VSAM Catalogs or cycle batch times will have to be extended.
