Convert Tape Management Data

Conversion is the process that extracts information stored in the existing tape management system and formats the data so that it can be used by Control-M/Tape. Programs supplied with Control-M/Tape enable you to automatically perform many of the steps necessary for conversion. The actual process of conversion differs, depending on the tape management system currently in use at your site.

Conversion is typically performed before switching Control-M/Tape modes (described below). Conversion may need to be performed multiple times (usually during operation in Global Test mode) while Control-M/Tape is synchronized with the existing tape management system.

Conversion to Control-M/Tape is described for the following products:

For more information about the conversion process and conversion from specific products, see the Control-M/Tape Conversion Guide.
