Issue/Introduction
The client wants to duplicate primary CA View tapes using ABARS (Aggregate Backup and Recovery Support). Their attempts, however, result in error message IEC023I and a S237-04 condition.
How are they to solve this problem?
Environment
CA View - All Releases
Resolution
CA View tapes are proprietary in format.
As such: . Only CA View can process the data on the tapes. . A copy cannot be made of a View tape using any utility other than those supplied by View.
As the client has a static database, and wants to have another set of tapes at another site, it was suggested that they: . Set SARINIT STORGRPn parameters, such that a duplex tape is created. . Start and Stop the SARSTC task. . Run SARPAC on all of the tapes, creating duplex copies. . Set SARINIT STORGRPn parameters, removing the duplexing. . Start and stop the SARSTC task.
