Step 6: Collect Statistics for Stacking

This step consists of the CONVSTK job, which runs the CTTSTK utility to collect dataset statistics from the Control-M/Tape Media Database. This statistical information is used by the Control-M/Tape Dynamic Dataset Stacking facility. This job must run with MODE set to MDB.

1. Submit the CONVSTK job.
2. Check the results.

   All steps must end with a condition code of 0.

Note: Depending on the size of your Media Database, this utility may run for a long time.

For more information about collection of dataset statistics, see utility CTTSTK in the Control-M/Tape chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.
