Step 12: Verify Media Database Integrity

1. Run the CONVIDB job.

   This utility runs the CTTIDB utility to verify the integrity of the Media Database.

2. If the CTTIDB utility reports errors, this may indicate logical problems in the input data of the conversion program. In this case, find and correct the source of the problem and repeat the conversion process.

   For more information about the CTTIDB utility, see the chapter that discusses media database integrity verification in the Control-M/Tape Implementation Guide, and the Control-M/Tape chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

   The job should complete with a condition code of 0. If it ends with a non-zero condition code, check the messages in the job sysout to determine whether the job was performed satisfactorily.

   Note: You can also correct any problems directly in the Control-M/Tape Media Database using the CTTMUP utility. However, since such manual corrections are lost if tape management data is reconverted, this method is advised only for the final conversion run. For more information, see the description of the CTTMUP utility in the Control-M/Tape chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
