SUTMYN Library Managed by LMS

Use the following steps to implement the Control-M/Tape interface to a SUTMYN automated tape library (formerly called MEMOREX/Telex) at your site.

Note: A batch interface between Control-M/Tape and a SUTMYN automated tape library that synchronizes the CDS (that is, the automated tape library database) with the Control-M/Tape Media Database can also be implemented at your site through an exit supplied with the SUTMYN automated tape library software (LMS). For more information, see your SUTMYN documentation.

1. Specify SUTMYN as one of the values for the RBTTYPE parameter in the CTTPARM member (through Control-M/Tape step 2.10 in ICE).
2. Use the ICE Automatic Exit Installation Tool (described in the exits chapter of the INCONTROL for z/OS Administrator Guide) to compile the CTTMMRX member. The CTTMMRX member contains the code necessary for interfacing with the SUTMYN ATL software (LMS).
3. Save the CTTRTM procedure under the name CTTRTM2. Rename the CTTRTMB procedure in the procedure library to CTTRTM. The new CTTRTM procedure contains an additional step (CTTRBM) that interfaces with LMS.
4. Save the CTTVTM procedure under the name CTTVTM2. Rename the CTTVTMB procedure in the procedure library to CTTVTM. The new CTTVTM procedure contains an additional step (CTTRBM) that interfaces with LMS.
5. Adjust procedures that access the automated tape library.

   Control-M/Tape uses the LMS API to access the automated library and to update the LMS Control Dataset (CDS). If the LMS load library is not in the MVS linklist, it should be added to the STEPLIB DD statement of all procedures that access the automated tape library.

   The list of procedures that may access the automated library includes:

   • the CTTRBM step in the CTTRTM and CTTVTM utilities
   • the CTTSYNC utility
   • the IOA Functional Monitor procedure (IOAFMON)

Note: In order to add the required library to the STEPLIB, edit the procedure of the utility at IOA.PROCLIB library, remove the line 'INCLUDE MEMBER=&IOAENV' and instead add the following lines:

//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&STEPLIB

//        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=robotic-tape-library-load-library

//DAPARM  DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&ILPREFA..PARM

//        DD DISP=SHR,DSN=&ILPREFA..IOAENV

1. If you have implemented EDM support (for example, using the ARCTVEXT exit for HSM or the TMSCTLEX exit for SAMS:Disk), the LMS load library should be added to the HSM, or SAMS:Disk STEPLIB procedure.
