Scratch Report

The Scratch report lists all volumes that were expired (meaning, became scratch) during the most recent run of the CTTRTM utility. There should be the same number of scratch volumes on the Scratch report as on the equivalent report produced by the existing tape management system.

An inconsistency in a global definition (for example, default retention) can cause a large number of inconsistencies. Therefore, appropriate settings for global parameters should be given a high priority.

You can determine if a problem is due to a global definition by comparing retention definitions of a data set or volume that was treated differently by Control-M/Tape and the other tape management system.

If the retention definitions are the same, the problem may be due to a global definition. In this case verify that the following Control-M/Tape installation parameters were assigned the appropriate values:
