DFSMSrmm Conversion Process

The process of conversion from DFSMSrmm to Control-M/Tape includes:

• Executing DFSMSrmm utilities.
• Editing operations.
• Running Control-M/Tape jobs.
• Creating vault and/or pool definitions through the Control-M/Tape Online facility.

The steps required for DFSMSrmm to Control-M/Tape conversion are described in detail in the remainder of this chapter. The conversion steps are accessed by the INCONTROL Installation and Customization Engine (ICE).

Use the following steps to begin conversion from DFSMSrmm to Control-M/Tape.

1. Enter ICE as described in the ICE chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.
2. In the Major Step Selection screen, type CTT in the product field, select "INSTALL CTx" (ICE option 3) from the IOA installation menu, and press Enter. The Control-M/Tape installation menu is displayed.
3. Choose major step 16 "Conversion from DFSMSrmm."
