Step 13: Apply Vault Rules

This step consists of job CONVVTM that applies the Vault Rule definitions created in Step 8. Job CONVVTM runs utility CTTVTM with the MODE=CONVERT expression included in the TYPEVLT statement. During this run of utility CTTVTM:

• rule definitions are loaded
• vault patterns for each volume are recalculated
• slot and box records are built

For more information about utility CTTVTM, see the Control-M/Tape chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

Check the results of job CONVVTM. The distribution report generated by utility CTTVTM lists all volumes that need to be moved as a result of this run of the utility. This report should be empty, indicating that no volumes need to be moved. If it is not empty, check the vaulting rules for the volumes listed in the report.

Note: The report may indicate volume movement within a vault (for example, a volume moving from one slot in a specific vault to another slot in the same vault). This situation is normal and may only reflect differences in slot management between CA-TLMS and Control-M/Tape.
