This step consists of job CONVEMDB that extracts information from the CA-EPIC/MVS DSN Catalog report (generated in Step 8), and uses this information to create volume and dataset records for the Control-M/Tape Media Database.
The following programs are executed by job CONVEMDB.
Table 28 Programs Executed by Job CONVEMDB
Program |
Description |
|---|---|
CTTCEPC |
Extracts data from the CA-EPIC/MVS DSN Catalog report to a general work file called VWR. The VWR file contains all volume and dataset information necessary for building volume and dataset records in the Control-M/Tape Media Database. This program must end with condition code 0. If it ends with a condition code other than 0, resolve the errors indicated by issued messages, and rerun job CONVEMDB. |
CTTDLD5 |
Loads volume and dataset records from the VWR file into the data component of the Media Database. This program must end with a condition code of 0. If program CTTDLD5 ends with a non-zero condition code, check the error messages, correct the indicated problems and, if necessary, rerun job CONVEMDB. |
CTTBIX |
Builds index records for the Control-M/Tape Media Database. This program must end with a condition code of 0. Condition code 8 indicates that errors were detected but the utility continued and the Media Database Index file was built successfully. The inconsistencies indicated by issued messages must be investigated and manually corrected. |
Before submitting the job, specify the ranges of volumes used at your site in DD statement SYSIN. Volumes in the CA-EPIC/MVS DSN Catalog that are not within the ranges specified to Control-M/Tape will not be added to the Media Database. Specify the following parameters for each RANGE statement:
Table 29 Parameters for DD Statement SYSIN RANGE Statements
Parameter |
Description |
|---|---|
FIRST |
First volume serial number in the range. |
LAST |
Last volume serial number in the range. |
MEDIA |
Volume media type. |
VENDOR |
Vendor of the media (Optional). |
All jobs steps must end with a condition code of 0, except STEP01, which may end with condition code 04. Check the messages in SYSPRINT file to determine if the job ended okay.
