Retention, Pool, and Vault Definitions

The conversion tool creates Control-M/Tape rules according to the retention and vault management definitions described in the RMF.

Rules describing pool information are defined manually according to a CA-TLMS report. For more information, see Step 11: Define Scratch Pools and Related Rules.

All Control-M/Tape rules have the same format and use the same set of parameters to define actions and other criteria. After Control-M/Tape implementation has been completed and Control-M/Tape is running in production mode, rules created during conversion can be combined so that retention, vaulting, and pool specifications for a dataset are described in the same rules.
