The TYPERUN parameter is contained in the EXEC statement.

Table 329 CTTBIX EXEC Parameters

Parameter	Description
TYPERUN	Used to specify both the parameters that affect the general functioning of the utility, and the execution mode of the utility. Mandatory. Only one TYPERUN statement can be specified for each run of this utility. Valid subparameters are: B — The utility is run in BUILD mode; the index file is rebuilt. If Control-M/Tape is active, the CTTBIX utility must not run. C — The utility is run in CONVERT mode. This mode is specified when converting the database from another tape management system to Control-M/Tape. If Control-M/Tape is active, the CTTBIX utility must not run. F — The utility is run in FORCED BUILD mode; the index file is rebuilt. No checking is performed for Control-M/Tape status. This mode forces building of the index file. N — The utility is run in FORCED CONVERT mode. No checking is performed for Control-M/Tape status. This mode forces the building of the Index file. Specify this mode when converting the database from another tape management system to Control-M/Tape. This index file can be built and checked in a test environment while the production environment is still active.

Parameter

Description

TYPERUN

Used to specify both the parameters that affect the general functioning of the utility, and the execution mode of the utility. Mandatory.

Only one TYPERUN statement can be specified for each run of this utility.

Valid subparameters are:

B — The utility is run in BUILD mode; the index file is rebuilt. If Control-M/Tape is active, the CTTBIX utility must not run.
C — The utility is run in CONVERT mode. This mode is specified when converting the database from another tape management system to Control-M/Tape. If Control-M/Tape is active, the CTTBIX utility must not run.
F — The utility is run in FORCED BUILD mode; the index file is rebuilt. No checking is performed for Control-M/Tape status. This mode forces building of the index file.
N — The utility is run in FORCED CONVERT mode. No checking is performed for Control-M/Tape status. This mode forces the building of the Index file.

Specify this mode when converting the database from another tape management system to Control-M/Tape. This index file can be built and checked in a test environment while the production environment is still active.

Note: Do not set parameter TYPERUN to F if the CTTBIX utility is running on the production Media database (that is, Control-M/Tape is active). Running this utility on the production Media database can cause unpredictable results.
