The CTTSPL and CTTMER utilities can be executed in simulation mode. In this mode, no Media database updates are performed. In simulation mode, messages are sent to the utility log to record the updates that had been performed on the Media database if the utility were running in normal mode.
If the last run of the utility abended, simulation mode is not allowed. If an attempt is made to run the utility in simulation mode, the utility is terminated and an appropriate message is displayed.
A special restart simulation mode is available for the CTTMER utility. For more information, see the description of the MODE parameter in CTTMER – Merge records into the Media database.
Note: Since the Media database is not updated in simulation mode, it is possible that a run of one of these utilities in simulation mode could end successfully. However a corresponding run in normal mode could abend, perhaps due to a lack of free space in the Media database.
