Defining Cabinets to Control-M/Tape

The CTTCTR1 conversion program, which is compiled by the CONVTASM job, builds the database work file from CA-TLMS reports 4 and 10. If you specified Y for the CABINET parameter in Step 1, you must define the appropriate cabinets in this program before running the CONVTASM job.

1. Edit the CTTCTR1 member in the IOA SAMPEXIT library.
2. Look for the CABINET symbol to locate the CABINET table. This is the table that is used to convert the CA-TLMS cabinets to Control-M/Tape slot numbers (see Figure 9).

The CABINET table contains the following columns:

• First field – 2-character vault identifier. This vault identifier is common to CA-TLMS and Control-M/Tape.
• Second field – 2-character CA-TLMS cabinet identifier.
• Third field – Control-M/Tape starting slot number of a range of slot numbers for a given cabinet.

1. Specify a Control-M/Tape starting slot number for each CA-TLMS cabinet identifier within each vault. The range of slot numbers must be unique in each vault.

   Example

   • An installation with 800 volumes is contained within 4 vaults: V1, V2, V3, V4.
   • Each vault has 2 cabinet identifiers: AA and AB.
   • Each CA-TLMS cabinet identifier has 100 slots (0-99).

   The following table shows one way to specify the Control-M/Tape starting slot numbers for each cabinet, with the resulting slot range:

   Table 14 Example specification of Control-M/Tape starting slot number

   Vault	CA-TLMS cabinet and slot number	Control-M/Tape starting slot number	Resulting Control-M/Tape slot range
   V1	AA (0-99)	1100	1100-1199
   	AB (0-99)	1200	1200-1299
   V2	AA (0-99)	1300	1300-1399
   	AB (0-99)	1400	1400-1499
   V3	AA (0-99)	1500	1500-1599
   	AB (0-99)	1600	1600-1699
   V4	AA (0-99)	1700	1700-1799
   	AB (0-99)	1800	1800-1899

   The following figure shows how to edit the CABINET table to produce this result:

In this example CABINET table

• CA-TLMS vault V2, cabinet AA, slot 34 is referred by Control-M/Tape as slot number 1334.
• CA-TLMS vault V3, cabinet AB, slot 66 is referred by Control-M/Tape as slot number 1666.

1. After you have edited the CTTCRT1 member, submit job CONVTASM. All job steps must end with a condition code of 0.
