Step 12: Apply Vault Rules

1. Run the CONVVTM job to apply the vault rules, created in "Step 10: Convert the VRS into Rules," to existing (converted) volumes.

   This job runs Control-M/Tape utility CTTVTM in a special mode designed for the conversion process. For more information, see the description of the CTTVTM utility in the Control-M/Tape chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

2. Submit the job.

   All job steps must end with a condition code of 0. If any of the job steps end with a non-zero condition code, check the messages in the job log to determine whether vault management rules were applied satisfactorily.

3. Check the output of the job.
4. The Distribution report should indicate that volumes were not moved between locations (vaults). If this is not so, the vaulting rules do not function in accordance with DFSMSrmm Vital Records. Locate these rules, correct the problems, and restart the conversion.

Note: The Distribution report may indicate volume movement within a vault, for example, a volume moving from one slot in a vault to another slot in the same vault. This situation is normal, and it reflects differences in slot management between DFSMSrmm and Control-M/Tape, not movement of volumes between locations.
