Step 10: Add Scratch Volumes to the Media Database

Note: Scratch volumes are not listed in the MVS Catalog.

1. Add scratch volumes that are to be defined in Control-M/Tape to the Control-M/Tape Media Database.
2. If you are cannot determine the volsers or volume ranges of the scratch volumes at your site, you can add records for the scratch volumes as follows:
   1. Open the ADDVOLS sample member in the Control-M/Tape JCL library.

      This job invokes the CTTDLD utility to add new volume records to the Control-M/Tape Media Database.

   2. Specify all volume ranges being converted to Control-M/Tape, including active volumes.
   3. Run the job.

      The CTTDLD utility generates a message for each volume record that is added to the Media Database as a result of this run. This job does not create volume records for volumes already defined in the Media Database, that is, active volumes.

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