Recovery from abends (CTTSPL)

Control-M/Tape can recover from abends occurring during the run of utilities CTTSPL and CTTMER. If the utility has abended during update of the Media database (deletion of records in the CTTSPL utility or addition of records in the CTTMER utility), when the utility is run again it automatically enters RESTART mode and recovers from the abend.

The extract file (REPDATA) must not be altered (or deleted) prior to restart of utilities CTTSPL or CTTMER. It is highly recommended that this file be backed up after each run of the CTTSPL utility to facilitate recovery.
