Control-M/Tape builds the Media Database from volume and DSNB records in the TMC. Before conversion, the TMC must be free of errors and data discrepancies such as chaining problems and dead volume entries.
If errors remain in the TMC, they are carried over to the Control-M/Tape Media Database during conversion.
Use the CA-1 utilities described in Table 3 to detect and verify the integrity of CA-1 tape library data.

Description |
|---|---|
TMSPTRS |
Detects invalid internal CA-1 multi-volume and multi-dataset chains, or errors in the free chain of unused DSNBs. Do not run this utility at the same time as other CA-1 batch utilities (e.g., TMSCLEAN or TMSEXPDT). If TMSPTRS ends with a non-zero condition code, errors are present in the TMC. Utility TMSPTRS produces the Invalid Pointers Report, that lists all volume and/or DSNB records that are in error. |
TMSEXPDT, TMSVMEDT, TMSVMUPD, TMSVMYLTTMSEXPDT, TMSVMEDT, TMSVMUPD, TMSVMYLT |
These utilities detect inconsistencies in retention and vaulting information. Correct control statements in the RDS according to the reports that are generated by these utilities, and run utility TMSEXPDT to reset the expiration dates. |
Note: When converting to PHASED or PROD modes, you must run the daily retention and vault processing of CA1 before running the conversion. You must also run this CA1 processing before running a TEST mode conversion.
