The conversion process consists primarily of the following tasks:
Convert Database – Convert the existing tape management system’s database to the Control-M/Tape Media Database. This process must be performed before testing begins, and is also necessary when changing the Control-M/Tape mode of operation, or if large discrepancies between the two databases have been detected.
Convert and/or Adapt Definitions – Convert rules and definitions and policies (depending on the tape management system at your site) from the existing tape management system to Control-M/Tape definitions. Converted definitions can be revised in Control-M/Tape as necessary.
Note: The term "definitions" as used in this book refers to rule, vault and pool definitions.
