Tape Controls
Mounting Tapes
Description BIM-EPIC controls which tapes can be used for output. BIM-EPIC
checks the volume serial number of every tape processed. If the tape
mounted is controlled, its volume serial number is checked with its
corresponding DSN Catalog entry to ensure that the tape is in scratch
status before being used as output.
If the tape is uncontrolled, BIM-EPIC checks to determine if the volume
serial number exists in the DSN Catalog. If the volume serial number
does not exist, the tape is cataloged and used automatically if
configuration option EPS033 is not set to YES. If the volume serial
number exists in the catalog, BIM-EPIC issues a message to allow the
operator to enter a new volume serial number.You do not need to
pre-initialize the tapes to put them under BIM-EPIC control.
This is not true for ACL-resident tapes. These volumes must have been
pre-processed by one of the following methods:
Initialized by the TSIDINIT utility
Added to the catalog using Online Manager or TSIDMNT and
setting configuration option EPS033=YES
See the BIM-EPIC Installation and User Guide for detailed information
on adding volumes to a catalog using Online Manager or TSIDMNT and
setting configuration option EPS033=YES.
Configuration option UNCTAP affects uncontrolled tape handling.
Requesting a
Previous
Version
To request the previous version of a dataset, type RERUN in response to a
request for a tape mount. A new tape mount request will be issued for the
previous version.
Example If a tape mount request is issued for version 1 and you reply RERUN, a
new request is issued for version 2. You can reply RERUN as many times
as there are versions for the dataset.
