Control-M/Tape builds the Media Database from the volume and dataset information in the VMF. Before executing the conversion process, the VMF must be free from errors and data discrepancies (for example, chaining problems and dead volume entries). It is also necessary to ensure that all VMF records contain the most current retention and location information before conversion.
Errors that remain in the VMF are carried over to the Control-M/Tape Media Database during conversion.
Use the following CA-TLMS utilities to check the integrity of the CA-TLMS VMF and if necessary correct errors.

Utility |
Description |
|---|---|
TLMSVCVS |
Detects invalid internal multivolume and multidataset chains, or errors that exist in the free chain of unused AUX records. Invalid or broken chains may be due to invalid updates, abnormal terminations, system crashes, or incomplete restoration during disaster recovery procedures. |
|
Note: You must correct all errors that are detected by this utility. |
TLMSRMUP |
Manually updates the RMF. If you need to add or change location or retention criteria in the RMF before the conversion process, run this utility before executing procedure CATTRS (described below). This utility produces CA-TLMS Report 40. |
CATTRS |
Runs the CA-TLMS Tape Retention System. The following utilities are executed by this procedure. |
TLMSTRS |
Reads the VMF and RMF, generates a transaction file for processing by utility TLMSTRAN (below), and produces CA-TLMS reports 41 and 44. |
TLMSTRAN |
Applies transactions to the VMF according to the file produced by utility TLMSTRS. The CA-TLMS Online Recorder must be active while utility TLMSTRAN is running. |
