Step 21. Adjust Control-M/Tape

1. Control‑M/Tape security definitions

   If the new IOA or Control‑M/Tape QNAME differs from that in the current Control‑M/Tape production environment, modify the security definitions accordingly.

   For information about the security entity structure that INCONTROL products use to validate authorization for each particular function, see the INCONTROL for z/OS Security Guide.

2. Copy rule definitions

   Copy the rule definitions from the old Control‑M/Tape RULES library to the Control‑M/Tape current release RULES library.

3. Copy pool definitions

   Copy the pool definitions (default member: $$POOL) from the old Control‑M/Tape PARM library to the Control‑M/Tape current release PARM library.

4. Copy vault definitions

   Copy the vault definitions (default member: $$VAULT) from the old Control‑M/Tape PARM library to the Control‑M/Tape current release PARM library.

5. Copy Rule List

   Copy the rule list member (default member: RULLIST) from the old Control‑M/Tape PARM library to the Control‑M/Tape current release PARM library. Change the RULES library name in the new RULLIST member to match the current release RULES library name.

6. Adjust Media Database and Stacking Database

   In "CTT Customization" in ICE, select the "Upgrade Control‑M/Tape Repository" major step, and perform its minor steps.

   Select the "Adjustments" major step, and perform the "Building Vault Information in MDB" minor step.

7. Adjust interfaces

   Adjust locally developed Control‑M/Tape interfaces to automated tape libraries interfaces and other products, such as the External Data Manager interface.

   For information about Control‑M/Tape interfaces to other products, see the Control‑M/Tape chapter in the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide.

8. Operate in parallel

   For information about running the Control‑M/Tape current release in parallel with a previous version of Control‑M/Tape, see Running two Control-M/Tapes in parallel.
