Most Control-M/Tape installation parameters (in the CTTPARM member) were set prior to activation of Control-M/Tape in Global Test mode or Global Phased mode. However, values specified for some of these parameters (listed below) should be reconsidered before activation of Control-M/Tape in Global Production mode.
Table 9 Installation Parameters
Parameter  | 
Description  | 
|---|---|
MODET  | 
Control-M/Tape operation mode. Set MODET to PROD to indicate that Control-M/Tape should operate in Global Production mode.  | 
DYNVOL  | 
Indicates what Control-M/Tape should do when a job attempts to access a volume that is not in the Media Database.  | 
DYNDS  | 
Indicates what Control-M/Tape should do when a job attempts to access a data set that is not in the Media Database.  | 
NLASKOP  | 
Indicates whether the operator should be asked to confirm volume serial numbers for NL (No Label) and BLP (Bypass Label Processing) tapes.  | 
TESTRULE  | 
Indicates whether to check if MODE is set to TEST in Control-M/Tape rules (meaning, to determine if these rules should be executed in TEST mode. If N (No) is specified, the mode indicated in the rule is ignored and all rules are executed in the Global mode (specified in the CTTPARM member). It is highly recommended that N (No) be specified for this parameter.  | 
OVERJCLa  | 
Indicates whether Control-M/Tape rules should override expiration dates set by MVS.  | 
For more information about these parameters, see the Control-M/Tape chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.
