Installing parallel execution support

To install Control‑M/Tape parallel execution support, do the following:

  1. Shut down the newly installed Control-M/Tape version.

    If the new Control‑M/Tape version is active, bring it down using the following operator command:

    S xxxINIT,PARM=TERM

    where xxx is the procedure prefix selected during the new Control‑M/Tape version installation.

  2. Set CTTPARM parameters in newly installed Control-M/Tape version using the Customization (Post installation customization) option in the INCONTROL Installation and Customization Engine (ICE):

    Parameter

    Minor step in major step 1 of Customization

    MODET=TEST

    Minor step 1 - Initialization Parameters

    PARALLEL=S

    Minor step 1 - Initialization Parameters

    RBTTYPE=NONE

    Minor step 10 - Automated Tape Libraries

    Ensure that the SVC number for the new version (the SVCNUM parameter in the CTTPARM member) is different from the SVC number used by the earlier version. Identical SVC numbers produce unpredictable results.

  3. Prepare production Control‑M/Tape environment for the version you are upgrading from.

    Ensure that the following parameter value is already set in the CTTPARM member of the version you are upgrading from:

    PARALLEL=N

  4. Start the new Control‑M/Tape version by using the following operator command:

    S xxxINIT

    In this command, xxx is the procedure prefix selected during new Control‑M/Tape version installation.

  5. Remove the "Check Control-M/Tape Operation Mode" step from the New Day Procedure in the Control-M/Tape production environment.
