Explanation

The following table describes the archive task equation list.

Name

Description

<task attribute assignment>

Assigns task attributes to the ARCHIVE statement. For a complete explanation of task attribute assignments, refer to Task Initiation.

<library equation>

Changes the attributes of libraries. The archive subsystem uses library equation to change the selector library. For more information, refer to Task Initiation.

Library Equation

Library-equating SELECTOR causes the archive task to use the <file title> library instead of the standard SL ARCHIVESUPPORT library: 

LIBRARY SELECTOR (TITLE = <file title>, LIBACCESS = BYTITLE);

TASKSTRING assignment

You can set TASKSTRING to specify the disk family or families that archive backup requests should use as temporary storage when copying to a CD-ROM volume. If you specify the following, then the archive backup system stores the temporary CDIMAGE disk file on that disk family: 

TASKSTRING = "FAMILYNAME= <family name>"

If you specify the following, the archive backup system starts with the first family in the list: 

TASKSTRING = "FAMILYNAME= (<family name>, 
  <family name>, ... <family name>)

If you have installed a custom ARCHIVESUPPORT library that uses the SFORKV multitasking feature then tasks rotate through the list of family names you specify.

For information about the multitasking feature, refer to the MCP System Interfaces Programming Reference Manual.
