The following table describes sample discrepancies that may be discovered when comparing the distribution reports of Control-M/Tape and the other tape management system:
Table 6 Vaulting Discrepancies and Resolutions
Symptom  | 
Probable Causes  | 
Resolution  | 
|---|---|---|
The distribution report of the other tape management system indicates that a volume should be moved, but the Control-M/Tape distribution report does not indicate this.  | 
A vault pattern was defined for the volume in the other tape management system after tape management data was converted to Control-M/Tape format.  | 
Create a Control-M/Tape rule definition that includes the appropriate DO VAULT statements for this volume or the vaulting data set of this volume.  | 
Control-M/Tape and the other tape management system specify inconsistent vaulting instructions.  | 
The value specified for the VLTBYDS1 parameter is not consistent with the existing tape management system.  | 
Specify the correct setting for installation the VLTBYDS1 parameter in the CTTPARM member.  | 
A data set with a cyclic vaulting pattern was either not moved, or was moved sooner than expected.  | 
The PREFIX subparameter in the DO VAULT=UNTIL CYCLES statement of the rule for this data set is inconsistent with the relevant setting of the other tape management system.  | 
Specify the correct value for the PREFIX subparameter.  | 
The vaulting pattern of a data set was set to CYCLE 003 but five cycles exist and none of them have been moved.  | 
The CYCLECNT parameter was not set to NONE in the CTTPARM member.  | 
Set CYCLECNT to NONE in the CTTPARM member.  | 
Control-M/Tape and the other tape management system indicate different slot numbers for specific volumes.  | 
Control-M/Tape and the other tape management system are using different algorithms to determine the next slot to be filled.  | 
Make sure that actual vaulting is performed according to the specifications of the existing tape management system’s distribution report (meaning, not according to the Control-M/Tape distribution report). This inconsistency is corrected when tape management data is reconverted before Control-M/Tape is activated in Global Phased mode, which is described in Global Phased Mode.  |
