Allow JBB daemon to process files without a full backup completion stamp

Allow JBB daemon to start track files immediately, and upon request from dsmc using jbb, give the file list straight away. The full backup can be run in parallel, and may take weeks to complete, but the deltas can be backed up straight away.

    This request may not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with the current multi-year strategy. IBM may consider and evaluate any RFE Community feedback for this request through activities such as voting. IBM will update this request in the future.

    Hi,
    have set it up as a cluster service. And we have set it up so that the disk is brought online first, then jbb daemon starts. Afterwards the other cluster resources can be started.

    It has PreserveDB set to 1, but we see that an abnormal failover causes the JBB database to be declared failed, and starts a new clean DB. This is not a problem for small systems. During this initial backup, some other means of pushing new files to tsm must exist. We have solved this temporarily by creating a filelist from the application that is used as input to dsmc inc backup.
