CA-TLMS Conversion Process

The process of conversion from CA-TLMS to Control-M/Tape includes

• executing CA-TLMS utilities
• editing operations
• running Control-M/Tape jobs
• modifying vault and/or pool definitions through the Control-M/Tape Online facility

The steps required for CA-TLMS to Control-M/Tape conversion are described in detail in the remainder of this chapter. The conversion steps are accessed by the INCONTROL Installation and Customization Engine (ICE).

Use the following steps to begin conversion from CA-TLMS to Control-M/Tape.

1. If you are converting from TLMS version 5.3, 5.4, or 5.5, rename the following items:
   • Conversion routines in the IOA SAMPEXIT library:

   Old Name	New Name
   CTTCTR1	CTTCTR16
   CTTCTR2	CTTCTR26
   CTTCTR4	CTTCTR46
   CTTCTR15	CTTCTR1
   CTTCTR25	CTTCTR2
   CTTCTR45	CTTCTR4

   • Members in the IOA.INSTCTT library:

   Old Name	New Name
   CONVTREP	CONVTRE6
   CONVTRE5	CONVTREP

2. Enter ICE as described in the ICE chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.
3. In the Major Step Selection screen, type CTT in the product field, select "INSTALL CTx" (ICE option 3) from the IOA installation menu, and press Enter. The Control-M/Tape installation menu is displayed.
4. Choose major step 14 "Conversion from CA-TLMS"

ICE screens can be used to check and record your progress during conversion, and to run some of the jobs performed during certain conversion steps.

If you are not yet familiar with ICE, BMC recommends that you review Installation and Customization Engine chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.
