When the steps described above in "Preparation" have been completed, it is time to activate Control-M/Tape in Global Phased mode.
If Control-M/Tape is already active and the Media Database is properly synchronized with the database of the other tape management system, you can simply change the value of the MODET parameter in the CTTPARM member and reload it. However, it is highly recommended that you reconvert tape management information from the other tape management system before activating Control-M/Tape in Global Phased mode.
If the Control-M/Tape Media Database is not synchronized and rules and parameters have been adjusted, reconvert the Media Database before activating Control-M/Tape in Global Phased mode.
Both tape management systems must be brought down (deactivated) before conversion is performed. For more information on the conversion of tape management, see the Control-M/Tape Conversion Guide.
