<p>You can tailor the Operational Assistant automatic backup by specifying an
exit program on the Change Backup (CHGBCKUP) command. If an exit program is
specified, that program is called both before the Operational Assistant backup
is run and after backup is run. You specify within the exit program when you
want your functions to run.</p>
<p> If this program ends abnormally or sends an escape message to its caller
when running before the backup, the backup will not continue.</p>
<p> When running backup, you could write your own exit program to back up some
additional objects that are not included on the folder or library backup
list.</p>
<p> Another example of using an exit program could be when you want to clean up
some items before the system does its backup. This would save time and
resources by not backing up objects you want deleted.</p>
<p> Refer to <a href="../apiref/apiexusback.htm">Using the Operational Assistant
Exit Program for Operational Assistant Backup</a> in the API Examples for an
example exit program for backup.</p>

<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<!-- Use this if there are no authorities and locks. -->
<p>None.</p>
<br>
<h3>Required Parameter Group</h3>
<p>Parameters your exit program should be able to handle are:</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>Calling product</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>The name of the product calling the exit program. This parameter is supplied
so that the exit program can tell whether it is called from the iSeries Run
Backup (RUNBCKUP) command or from another application. When called from the
RUNBCKUP command, the value is QEZBACKUP.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Exit indicator</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>Whether this program is called before or after the backup is done. The
possible values are:</p>
<table cellpadding="3">
<!-- cols="15 85" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>*BEFORE</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">This call is before the backup has started.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>*AFTER</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">This call is after the backup has run.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Options</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(10)
<p>Indicates that the specified backup options are used. The possible values
are:</p>
<table cellpadding="3">
<!-- cols="15 85" -->
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>*DAILY</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The daily backup options are used.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>*WEEKLY</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The weekly backup options are used.</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td align="left" valign="top"><em>*MONTHLY</em></td>
<td align="left" valign="top">The monthly backup options are used.</td>
</tr>
</table>
<br>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Device</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(40)
<p>The name of up to four devices to be used for the backup. Each device is
left-justified on a 10-byte boundary.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Tape set</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(4)
<p>The name of the tape set to be used for the backup. Operational Assistant
backup combines the tape set name (1 to 4 characters) with volume numbers from
01 to 99 to generate the volume IDs of the tape volumes to be used by the
backup.</p>
</dd>
<dt><strong>Return code</strong></dt>
<dd>INPUT; CHAR(7)
<p>The message ID of the message returned by backup. This is blank before the
backup.</p>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>
<h3>Error Messages</h3>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="3">
