If scratch pools are defined in your CA-TLMS system, rules must be created in Control-M/Tape to identify them and the datasets that are assigned to those pools.
Use the following steps to convert scratch pool information at your site:
Analyze the pool information that has been defined for CA-TLMS.
For CA-TLMS version 5.3, check the pool information tables in members TLMSRTAB and TLMSVTAB in the CAISRC library.
For CA-TLMS version 5.4 or later, use system option POOLID in member TLMSIPO of the CAI.PPOPTION library to dynamically build user table TLMSPTAB. This table contains the definitions of the tape pools managed by CA-TLMS.
Define Control-M/Tape pools that are identical to those defined in CA-TLMS, by the Pool Definition screen (screen TP). Select the member that was allocated for pool definitions during Control-M/Tape installation (Default: member $$POOL in the Control-M/Tape PARM library).
Define Control-M/Tape rules that identify the datasets to be restricted to each pool. Use the DO POOL statement in these rules to specify dataset names, groups, job names, or program names that must be used to determine the datasets for each pool.
Note: During this step, you may create pool assignment rules that reference datasets for which other rule definitions were already created (by previous conversion steps). The recommended default value for parameter CONTINUE SEARCH in Control-M/Tape rule definitions created during conversion is N. Therefore, only one rule would normally be triggered for each dataset being processed.
To ensure that each pool assignment rule is triggered for all relevant datasets, specify a higher priority than the default in RLDPRTY (in Step 1) and specify Y in the CONTINUE SEARCH field for these rules.
