Action parameters (meaning, DO parameters) specify actions to be performed by Control-M/Tape. These actions are performed only after conditions specified in the selection parameters have been fulfilled.
The following actions, described in detail on the following pages, are supported:
Table 133 Action Parameters
Parameter |
Description |
---|---|
DO ABENDRET |
Specifies how long the data set or volume is retained if an abend occurs while the data set is open. |
DO BYPASS |
Indicates whether Control-M/Tape should bypass tape management activities for the data set. |
DO CONDITION |
Adds or deletes prerequisite conditions. |
DO DYNDS |
Indicates whether a data set is dynamically added to the Media Database. |
DO DYNVOL |
Indicates whether a volume is dynamically added to the Media Database. |
DO FASTPOS |
Indicates whether Control-M/Tape should request Fast Positioning for a tape. |
DO FORCEJOB |
Forces (schedules) a jobs under Control-M. |
DO LABEL |
Determines whether an external (gummed) label is printed upon creation of the data set. |
DO OVERJCL |
Indicates whether MVS retention attributes for the data set is overridden by Control-M/Tape rules. |
DO OWNER |
Assigns an owner to the volumes and data sets. |
DO POOL |
Indicates the pool from which scratch volumes are taken. |
DO RECREATE |
Indicates whether an existing data set is overwritten by the data set. |
DO RESOURCE |
Modifies the quantity of Quantitative resources. |
DO RETENTION |
Specifies how long the data set or volume is retained. |
DO SET |
Assigns a value to an IOA AutoEdit variable. |
DO SHOUT |
Issues a message to a console, TSO user ID, ROSCOE user, IOA Log, or Info/Management. |
DO STACK |
Enables or disables stacking of data sets. |
DO STKDEFSZ |
Indicates a default size for the data set if it is to be stacked. |
DO STKGROUP |
Indicates a stacking group for the data set. |
DO STKMODE |
Indicates a method to be used for stacking the data set. |
DO STKMXLBL |
Indicates a maximum number of data sets with which the data set can be stacked on one volume. |
DO STKMXVOL |
Indicates the maximum number of volumes in a chain on which the data set can be stacked. |
DO STKRULE |
Indicates a stacking limitation for the data set. |
DO STKSRCHL |
Indicates a maximum number of volumes that can be considered for stacking the data set. |
DO VAULT |
Identifies name, location and retention specifications of a vault for volume storage. |
It is possible to create a rule without specifying any Action parameters. One use for a rule without DO actions is to change the Control-M/Tape operation mode without performing other actions.
Action parameters are divided into the following categories:
