Running the CTTIDB Utility

BMC recommends that the CTTIDB utility be run

• immediately after a system crash
• after a Control-M/Tape utility abends during processing
• whenever database statistics are desired

Note: The CTTIDB utility requires exclusive access to the Media Database. Other utilities that access the Media Database (for example, CTTRTM or CTTVTM) cannot run concurrently with this utility. Since the Media Database is being constantly updated when tape datasets are read or written, an accurate state of the database can only be obtained when there is no tape activity.
