Control-M/Tape Reports

Control-M/Tape reports are produced through the CTTRTM, CTTVTM and CTTRPT utilities. Customize Control-M/Tape reports in a format similar to the reports of the other tape management system at your site. This makes it easier for you to compare reports and make necessary adjustments to tape management definitions. For information on how to customize the format of Control-M/Tape reports, see the descriptions of these utilities in the INCONTROL for z/OS Utilities Guide.

The CTTRTM utility produces a Scratch report listing all volumes that were expired (meaning, became scratch) as a result of the run of the utility. Figure 5 shows a sample of the default format for this report.

The CTTVTM utility produces a Distribution report. It lists all volumes that should be moved to a new location or assigned a new slot number. Figure 6 shows a sample of the default format for this report.

The CTTRPT utility is a general reporting utility that produces reports based on information in the Media Database. A wide variety of sample reports is provided with this utility. Additional report formats can be generated by manipulating the parameters of this utility.

Use this utility to produce reports that are similar to the reports produced by your existing tape management system (in addition to the Scratch and Distribution reports described in the preceding samples).
