Volume Ranges

Control-M/Tape requires definition of ranges of volume serial numbers (volsers) for each media type before it generates volume records. These volume ranges are defined using the CTTDLD utility during the conversion process.

Create an inventory of all active volume ranges in your data center. Use this inventory as a reference when specifying volume ranges to Control-M/Tape during the conversion at "Step 4: Convert LISTCAT Output to Media Database Records."

Note: Volumes in MVS Catalogs that are not within the ranges specified to Control-M/Tape are not added to the Control-M/Tape Media Database.

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