Stacking is the process by which Control-M/Tape places data sets with similar attributes (for example, retention) together on a volume. Data set stacking is a concept unique to Control-M/Tape. Therefore, it is recommended that you not implement this feature until Control-M/Tape is already running in Global Production mode (meaning, the old tape management system is no longer active at your site).
Two types of data set stacking can be performed by Control-M/Tape.
Table 11 Data Set Stacking Types
Type |
Description |
|---|---|
Batch stacking |
Handles already existing data sets through the CTTSBD Control-M/Tape utility that is run in batch mode. |
Dynamic Data set stacking |
Handles newly created data sets during real-time operations. |
Through Data Set Stacking, Control-M/Tape can optimize usage of the storage space in your tape libraries.
