Online User Interface

Control-M/Tape provides an online user interface that enables the user to:

• Interface with most of the previously described facilities.
• Immediately access up-to-date information on media management.
• Intervene in the processes of media management.

The Online user interface is provided through online facilities that are accessed by the IOA Primary Option menu.

Certain online facilities are unique to Control-M/Tape, and other facilities are shared by many or all INCONTROL for z/OS products.

All INCONTROL and Control-M/Tape online facilities are described in detail in Online Facilities. They are all outlined briefly in the following topics.

Note: Your INCONTROL administrator can limit the options displayed on a user-by-user basis and can alter option numbers and customize option descriptions. Product supplied default options are discussed in this overview.
