During Global Test mode, Control-M/Tape sends messages to the System log, Job log, or operator console if there is a contradiction between the existing tape management system’s actions and the actions Control-M/Tape would take if it were operating in Global Production mode. These messages can help you resolve inconsistencies found during comparison of scratch and distribution reports, and provide useful information on data integrity problems detected by the CTTIDB utility. For more information about this utility, see Chapter 5, "Verifying Media Database Integrity."
Most of these System and Job log messages are followed by message CTT146I.
CTT146I JOB CONTINUES DUE TO TEST MODE
If Control-M/Tape were operating in Global Production mode, the job executing when the message was issued would be abended or the scratch tape would be rejected by Control-M/Tape. In Global Test mode, the job continues processing under the control of the existing tape management system. When the CTT146I message is sent to the log, Control-M/Tape bypasses the rest of the job and ignores all subsequent information produced by the job. This may result in additional inconsistencies between the existing tape management system and Control-M/Tape.
The following pages contain sample Control-M/Tape messages that may be sent to the System log or Job log as a result of an inconsistency with the existing tape management system. For each of these messages, it is important to investigate why the Control-M/Tape Media Database does not have the same information as the existing tape management system’s database. Be sure to check relevant earlier messages for a possible cause for the problem.
