CONVERT ARCHIVE (Allow Clients to Query Archive Files by Description )

Use this command to improve the efficiency of a command line or API client query of archive files and directories using the description option. Previously, an API client could not perform an efficient query at all and a Version 3.1 or later command line client could perform such a query only if the node had signed onto the server from a GUI at least once. Perform this conversion only once for each node.

A GUI backup-archive client can already do a more efficient query without this command being issued.

Privilege Class

To issue this command, you must have system privilege, unrestricted policy privilege, or policy privilege for the policy domain to which the client belongs.

Syntax

                               .-Wait--=--No------.

                               '-Wait--=--+-No--+-'
                                          '-Yes-'
 
 

Parameters

node_name (Required)

You cannot specify WAIT=YES when you issue this command with the MVS MODIFY command.
