Batch Stacking and Vault Management

The CTTSBD utility copies data sets on volumes that reside in the main library and are not scheduled for storage in an off-site vault. By default, volumes that are in a vault or are scheduled to be transferred to a vault, are not selected by CTTSBD, even if specified INCLUDE / EXCLUDE statements explicitly state otherwise.

Some sites use vault management for administrative purposes other than off-site storage. At such a site, use the VAULTED parameter to indicate that vaulted (and to-be-vaulted) volumes are processed by the CTTSBD utility.

When an output data set is written by the CTTSBD utility, it is subjected to Control-M/Tape rules for vaulting. When the data set is successfully copied, vaulting of the input and output volumes can be modified according to the setting of the INVAULT and OUTVAULT parameters.
