Step 3: Stop Tape Activity

1. If you intend to start Control-M/Tape in Global Phased mode or Global Production mode, stop all tape activity during the conversion process.

   Tape datasets created during and after Step 6 of the conversion process are not converted.

   Note: Although it is not mandatory, BMC recommends that tape processing be halted while converting the tape management data in preparation for Global Test mode.

2. Control-M/Tape must not be active during the conversion process. If Control-M/Tape is already active, shut it down.
