Reports

The CTTSBD utility produces a variety of reports detailing information relevant to the run of the utility.

• The Media Utilization report lists the number of volumes and the amount of available space in each of several media categories (scratch tapes, non-scratch tapes, and so on.)
• The Input Volume Inventory report lists all input volumes selected for the run of utility CTTSBD and the data sets residing on those volumes.
• The Output Volume Inventory report lists all output volumes created during the run of utility CTTSBD and the data sets residing on those volumes.

  Note: The Output Volume Inventory report identifies output data sets whose names are identical to the corresponding input data set names. Neither the input nor the output data set is cataloged. Using this report, such data sets can be tracked, making it easier for you to take action (if necessary).

• The Detailed Input or Output report lists the input data sets and the corresponding output data sets, output volumes, label numbers and retention information.

  Note: Expiration dates listed in this report for input data sets are the expiration dates after the data sets have been processed by the CTTSBD utility. The original expiration date for these data sets is listed in the Input Volume Inventory report, described above.

• The Output Volume Access report lists output data sets (in the order in which they were created) and the output volume on which each output data set was written. This report serves as a log for output volume mounts.

You can generate additional reports from the Media database using the CTTRPT utility. For more information, see CTTRPT – Database extraction and report utility.
