Now that we are using CA1 we should be able to use the “Tape Management Systems” feature in Vantage. To start using the tape feature, updates have to be made to Vantage parmlib members.
We copied the scripts from CCTUSAMP library to system scripts, and defined the below parms:
CTSBK1F (provide CTSDSN dataset name) * CTSXUTIL DATA SET FOR DSN
CTSBK1V (provide CTSVOL dataset name) * CTSXUTIL DATA SET FOR VOLUMES
CA1BKTMC (provide TMCBKUP2 gdg/dataset name) *TMC BACKUP DATA SET
SMPPFX (VANTAGE.Rnn)
Still we are not able to access the latest TMC backup version automatically
We need to enable the base GDG name version 0.
How can we do this?
Vantage
The easiest way is to customize the JCL as follows:
//STEP0010 EXEC PGM=CTSXUTIL,REGION=0M,PARM='BKUPTMC'
//CTSTDB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=%%CA1BKTMC%%(0)
This will flexibly change the (0) to a (-n), for example (as needed).
