Online Catalog Management Commands
Even while using Online Manager panels for your catalog management, you can still execute
TSIDMNT functions in command mode. To do this, place the cursor in a panel’s command
area, and type EPIC, followed by a space and the normal TSIDMNT syntax. See Chapter 3,
“DSN Catalog Management Utility”, for more information.
Use CAPACITY to display statistics on current DSN Catalog file use.
There are two commands for entering new files in the catalog. Use DEFINE to create new
BIM-EPIC dataset definitions (EDDs). Use ADD to enter new versions to cataloged datasets.
There are several commands available for modifying the characteristics of existing DSN
Catalog entries.
UPDATE modifies the BIM-EPIC dataset definition (EDD).
RETAIN modifies creation and expiration data for a version.
CYCLE modifies retention for a selected version and all previous versions.
CLOSE changes open and conditionally cataloged versions to active status.
LOCK locks datasets and versions, UNLOCK unlocks locked datasets and versions, and
RELEASE releases locked datasets and versions for one use only.
There are three commands for scratching files: SCRATCH, DELETE, and PURGE.
DELETE deletes the dataset definition and all dataset versions. PURGE deletes the dataset
definition and all its versions, and deletes associated volume serial numbers from the DSN
Catalog. SCRATCH deletes one version only.
Change a BIM-EPIC dataset definition name with RENAME. Transfer a version from one
dataset name to another with TRANSFER. You can make a tape version accessible with two
dataset names using MCATALOG.
CLEAN records tape cleaning.
