Parameters Relating to Operating System Interfaces

Table 218 Parameters Relating to Operating System Interfaces

Parameter	Description
MODE=VERIFY	Verifies that Control‑M/Tape operating system interfaces can be applied and the SVC can be installed. This mode can be used during Control‑M/Tape installation, or when bringing up a new OS/390 or z/OS version, to determine if Control‑M/Tape can be initialized.
MODE=CHECK	Checks if Control‑M/Tape operating system interfaces are already applied and the SVC already installed. Because Control‑M/Tape has no active address space (job or started task) in the system, this mode is used to determine if Control‑M/Tape is up.

Parameter

Description

MODE=VERIFY

Verifies that Control‑M/Tape operating system interfaces can be applied and the SVC can be installed.

This mode can be used during Control‑M/Tape installation, or when bringing up a new OS/390 or z/OS version, to determine if Control‑M/Tape can be initialized.

MODE=CHECK

Checks if Control‑M/Tape operating system interfaces are already applied and the SVC already installed.

Because Control‑M/Tape has no active address space (job or started task) in the system, this mode is used to determine if Control‑M/Tape is up.

VERIFY can be executed only if the Control-M/Tape Real-Time environment is not active. CHECK can be executed regardless of whether Control-M/Tape is active.
