The customer wants to test tape processing in DR, but there are currently no tapes exists in DR environment.
After the reports are written on tape, recall of those reports is part of the test.
Is there a way to force the output from disk to tape?
View Sysout Selection List online panel or SARBCH utility, does not have the ability to write a disk report to tape.
In this instance, with the client at DR and using tape for the first time, their solution is to run a View backup as below,
In SDSF, command "/F sarstc,NEW" can be issued, and View will run a backup and write reports to a new tape.
Setting SARINIT TBACKUP=YES, will write reports to tape.
