Step 18: Collect Statistics for Stacking

This step consists of job CONVSTK that runs utility CTTSTK to collect dataset statistics from the Control-M/Tape Media Database. This statistical information is used by the Control-M/Tape Dynamic Dataset Stacking facility. This job must run with MODE set to MDB.

Note: This step is relevant only if you are converting from CA-TLMS version 5.3. Statistical information is not available for dataset records converted from CA-TLMS version 5.4 or later.

Submit job CONVSTK. Check the results. All steps must end with a condition code of 0. Depending on the size of your Media Database, this utility may run for a long time.

For more information about collection of dataset statistics, see utility CTTSTK in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

For more information about dataset stacking, see the dataset stacking chapter of the Control-M/Tape Implementation Guide.
