Backup CF Structure on z/OS

The Backup CF Structure (MQCMD_BACKUP_CF_STRUC) command initiates a CF application structure backup.

Required parameters

CFStrucName (MQCFST)

The name of the CF application structure to be backed up (parameter identifier: MQCA_CF_STRUC_NAME).

The maximum length is MQ_CF_STRUC_NAME_LENGTH.

Optional parameters

CommandScope (MQCFST)

Command scope (parameter identifier: MQCACF_COMMAND_SCOPE). Specifies how the command is executed when the queue manager is a member of a queue-sharing group. We can specify one of the following:

• blank (or omit the parameter altogether). The command is executed on the queue manager on which it was entered.
• a queue manager name. The command is executed on the queue manager you specify, providing it is active within the queue sharing group. If you specify a queue manager name other than the queue manager on which it was entered, you must be using a queue sharing group environment, and the command server must be enabled.

The maximum length is MQ_QSG_NAME_LENGTH.

ExcludeInterval (MQCFIN)

Exclude interval (parameter identifier: MQIACF_EXCLUDE_INTERVAL).

Specifies a value in seconds that defines the length of time immediately before the current time where the backup starts. The backup excludes backing-up the last n seconds activity. For example, if 30 seconds is specified, the backup does not include the last 30 seconds worth of activity for this application-structure.

The value must be in the range 30 through 600. The default value is 30.
