Step 8: Define Scratch Pools and Corresponding Rules

If scratch pools are defined in your ASG-Zara system, define Control-M/Tape pools that are identical to those defined in ASG-Zara, through the Pool Definition screen (screen TP).

1. Select the member that was allocated for pool definitions during Control-M/Tape installation.

   The default member name is $$POOL, in the Control-M/Tape PARM library.

2. Verify that the Pool Definition Table member (by default, the $$ POOL member in the Control-M/Tape PARM library) is specified in DD statement DAPOOLS in procedure CTTINIT.
3. Create rules in Control-M/Tape to identify scratch pools and the datasets that are assigned to those pools.

   Use the DO POOL statement in these rules to specify dataset names, groups, job names, or program names that must be used to determine the datasets for each pool.

   To ensure that each pool assignment rule is triggered for all relevant datasets, specify Y in the CONTINUE SEARCH field for these rules.
