CTTRSM – Recover tape activity from SMF records

The CTTRSM utility recovers tape activity not recorded in the Media database from data in SMF records. This utility can be used to extract information about tape activity performed when Control-M/Tape was not active.

Before running the CTTRSM utility, SMF records must be accumulated and loaded into one or more sequential files using appropriate MVS utilities (for example, IFASMFDP). Specify the sequential files containing the SMF records in DD statement DASMFIN of the CTTRSM utility. The SMF records in the sequential file must be only type 14 and type 15 SMF records.

Note: Since the CTTRSM utility only processes type 14 and 15 SMF records, the utility cannot determine whether a job ended successfully or abended. Thus, the normal retention type is used to determine retention. The abend retention type is never used.
