COMPAQ Software Product Description ___________________________________________________________________ PRODUCT NAME: Save Set Manager for OpenVMS, Version 1.4, SPD 62.64.10 DESCRIPTION Save Set Manager for OpenVMS (SSMgr) is a layered software product that reduces user time spent on save set operations. SSMgr reduces oper- ational time spent during OpenVMS BACKUP operations by providing an avenue for offline save set validation, copy, and save set merge func- tions. The key benefits of Save Set Manager for OpenVMS are: o Reduction of operational time spent on online backup and restore without compromising data integrity o Selective manipulation of save set contents and attributes o Transfer of backup save sets between tape drive technologies o Transfer of backup save sets from one tape or disk drive to another tape or disk drive while maintaining data integrity features o Reduced down time for a BACKUP/RESTORE operation o Ability to monitor degradation of archived save sets o Wildcard support o Backup journal file creation o Multiple output copies on merge and copy July 1999 AE-QDKPL-TE The three separate and distinct functions in Save Set Manager are: 1. Save Set VALIDATE-This function validates the internal consistency of a specified save set offline and reports any exceptions back to the user. 2. Save Set COPY-This function provides the ability to duplicate the save set with the addition/deletion of CRC or XOR blocks in the out- put save set and eliminates any duplicate records. 3. Save Set MERGE-This function provides the ability to merge incre- mental save sets with other incremental or full save sets, reduc- ing the frequency of full BACKUP operations. The distinct improvements in functionality in SSMgr Version 1.4 over the previous version, are: o ODS-5 volume support: SSMgr V1.4 supports all operations on ODS-5 disks on Alpha systems running Open VMS V7.2. This is the basis for support of: - Long filenames - Deep rooted directory structure - Characters from ISO-LATIN and UNICODE multinational character sets - "?" as a single character wildcard, in addition to the exist- ing "%" single character wildcard HARDWARE REQUIREMENTS Save Set Manager is a layered software product on the OpenVMS oper- ating system for both VAX and Alpha hardware platforms.
