Mainframe Enablers TimeFinder SnapVX and zDP 8.5 Product Guide

Indicates whether snapshot post processing should be automatically performed after the ACTIVATE command is run or as part of the LINK command processing.

Post processing involves making the target device ready to the channel and performing any label management. If requested, the target device is also varied online.

The POSTSNAP parameter can be specified on the ACTIVATE command.

The POSTSNAP parameter only applies to regular input (after a //QCINPUT DD * JCL statement) LINK statement that references a GROUP. The POSTSNAP parameter is only valid if GROUP is also specified.

If both PRESNAP and POSTSNAP parameters are not specified, and a LINK operation is initiated that is not group processing, PRESNAP, and POSTSNAP are automatically set to YES.
