Bug fix regarding FDR Innovation FATSCOPY and TLMS R14.0 upgrade

Products

• TLMS Tape Management

Issue/Introduction

FDR Innovation had changed the process in which they call the TLMS TLMSCMD module. This change created a conflict that was not discovered until the new processes of the TLMS upgrade were implemented.

An OPEN command by the main module is issued for TLMSCMD via

 

CMNDKEY=CMNOPEN, CMNDMODE=TLMSONLN

 

to be carried out by module #2.

Another requested OPEN without issuing a CLOSE for the first OPEN call was being issued.

 

They have added an CLOSE to TLMSCMD before the next open.

The error will look like this.

 

IEC205I TAPEOUT,WEBBT08M,MIGRATE,FILESEQ=1, COMPLETE VOLUME LIST,
DSN=XXX.TEST.XXX.XXXXXXX.XXXXXXX,VOLS=#####,TOTALBLOCKS=#### 

TLMSCMND : CALL TO (INIT_SUB) FAILED

TLMSCMND : INIT_SUB FAILURE RC IS NOT 8.

Environment

TLMS 14.0z/OSFATSCOPY

Resolution

FDR Innovation has developed a patch P-49.3016 to fix this error. The patch is available from FDR support.
