Installation Parameters

Most Control-M/Tape installation parameters (in the CTTPARM member) were set prior to activation of Control-M/Tape in Global Test mode or Global Phased mode. However, values specified for some of these parameters (listed below) should be reconsidered before activation of Control-M/Tape in Global Production mode.

Table 9 Installation Parameters

Parameter

Description

MODET

Control-M/Tape operation mode. Set MODET to PROD to indicate that Control-M/Tape should operate in Global Production mode.

DYNVOL

Indicates what Control-M/Tape should do when a job attempts to access a volume that is not in the Media Database.

DYNDS

It is highly recommended that N (No) be specified for this parameter.

For more information about these parameters, see the Control-M/Tape chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Installation Guide.
