MODE=INIT

Initializes Control‑M/Tape. For details on how Control‑M/Tape is initialized, see the organization and administration chapter in the Control‑M/Tape User Guide. This command must be issued on each operating system in which Control‑M/Tape is to be activated.

MODE=TERM

Terminates Control‑M/Tape. This command must be issued on each operating system in which Control‑M/Tape was activated.

MODE=RELOAD, EXIT=exit

Loads a new copy of a Control‑M/Tape exit without the need to restart Control‑M/Tape. Specify the full name of the exit module, for example, CTTX004.

Reloadable exits are: CTTX002, CTTX003, CTTSE03, CTTX004, CTTSE04, CTTX005, CTTX006, CTTSE06, CTTX009, CTTSE09, CTTX010 and IOAX035.

MODE=RELOAD, TBLT=RULE

When Control‑M/Tape is initialized, it reads a list of rule tables from the member referenced by the DARULLST DD statement in the CTTINIT procedure. The supplied default RULLIST member is in the Control‑M/Tape PARM library. For every line in the list, Control‑M/Tape loads the specified rule table from the specified library.

To replace all currently active rules with a new (updated) copy of the rules, issue operator command:

S CTTINIT,PARM='MODE=RELOAD,TBLT=RULE'

MODE=RELOAD, TBLT=POOL

When Control‑M/Tape is initialized, it reads pool definitions from the member referenced by the DAPOOLS DD statement in the CTTINIT procedure. These pools are defined using the Control‑M/Tape Pool Definition screen.

If you modified or added pools and you want to replace the currently active pools with a new (updated) copy of the pools, issue operator command:

S CTTINIT,PARM='MODE=RELOAD,TBLT=POOL'

MODE=RELOAD, TBLT=VAULT

When Control‑M/Tape is initialized, it reads vault definitions from the member referenced by the DAVLTS DD statement in the CTTINIT procedure. These vaults are defined using the Control‑M/Tape Vault Definition screen.

If you modified or added vaults and you want to replace the currently active vaults with a new (updated) copy of the vaults, issue operator command:

S CTTINIT,PARM='MODE=RELOAD,TBLT=VAULT'

MODE=RELOAD,TB LT=PARM

The following CTTPARM options can be modified while Control‑M/Tape is active. There is no need to shut down Control‑M/Tape.

ABENDACT, BLPDEF, CNGMSGID, DAYTIME, DEFABEND, DEFEXPDT, DSNMCHK, DYNDS, DYNVOL, EXPDTDDN, EXPDTYPE, EXTRNVOL, LBLROUTC, MODE, MSGFMT, NLASKOP, OVERJCL, PARALLEL, RBTTYPE, RECREATE, RTNUPD, SCRPROT, SMSINTR, STKDEFFT, STKMODE, STKSRCHL, STKTEST, VLTBYDS1, X98ASKOP

To modify these options, modify the CTTPARM member, then issue the following operator command:

S CTTINIT,PARM='RELOAD,TBLT=PARM'

MODE=RELOAD, TBLT=VIEW

When Control‑M/Tape is initialized, it reads view definitions from the VIEWSDEF member in the Control‑M/Tape PARM library.

If you modified or added views and you want to replace the currently active views with a new (updated) copy of the views, issue the following operator command:

S CTTINIT,PARM='MODE=RELOAD,TBLT=VIEW'
