Hello; I  am a mainframe applications  software consultant here at  Temple U.
My boss  and I have been  trying to talk  our VM systems people  into putting
VMArchive  into general  production for  the past  couple of  years and  they
always come back  to us with lame excuses  as to why they won't  do it. After
quite some  time, we  were able to  have VMArchive put  into production  in a
minimal way. If our systems folks  had their way, they would remove VMArchive
from our 3084-Q entirely.  As it is, files are moved  between the staging are
and tape only twice a day; at 8:00  and 13:00. We want to increase this to at
least  once  an hour.  We  also  want to  allow  users  to archive  files  on
temporary disk  which is  currently not  possible here.  I am  wondering what
your  experiences with  VMArchive are.  How many  people on  your system  use
VMArchive  and how  did you  set it  up?  If this  is a  FAQ, please  respond
personally. It would also  be nice to chat with folks at  other VM sites that
use VMArchive in  the event our systems folks have  further arguments against
this idea. It would probably make more  sense for one of our systems analysts
to send a posting  on this matter to L-VMCTR, but I guess  they don't do such
things since it is not in their contract.

Thanks in advance.
