Submit the Conversion Job

The next stage of the automatic conversion uses the CA-1 reports (described above) to create volume and dataset records for the Control-M/Tape Media Database. The job that performs this task runs one or more of the following programs (depending on the version of CA-1 in use at the site:

Table 7 Programs that the Job Conversion Runs On

Program

Description

CTTCGRW

Splits the CA-1 report into two parts; one that describes volumes, and one that describes datasets. This program is run at sites with CA-1 version 5.1 or later.

CTTCUC15

Extracts data from the CA-1 reports to a general work file called VWR. The VWR file contains all volume and dataset information necessary for building the volume and dataset records in the Media Database.

CTTDLD5

Loads the volume and dataset records from the VWR file into the data component of the Media Database. (This program runs utility CTTDLD5 in CONVERT mode.)

CTTBIX

Runs utility CTTBIX in CONVERT mode to build index records for the Control-M/Tape Media Database. This utility must end with a condition code of 0. If CTTBIX ends with condition code 8, it indicates that errors were detected, but the utility continued and the Media Database Index file was built successfully. The inconsistencies indicated by issued messages must be investigated and manually corrected.

Confirm that all steps of the conversion job ended with a condition code of 0 and press Enter.
