Issue/Introduction
The client wants to convert old CA View database tapes to a new tape technology.
What are the best steps to use to get this done correctly?
Environment
Release : 12.2
Component : CA View
Resolution
The defacto method to move View reports from one media to another is with the SARPAC program.
Run the below, to generate a report showing what tapes belong to the database:
//XXXXXXXX JOB ...
//SARPAC EXEC PGM=SARPAC,PARM='VIEW_HLQ,REPORT' <=== MODIFY DB NAME
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CVDELOAD <=== MODIFY, IF USED
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD DUMMY
//
After the report has been reviewed, determine what groups of tapes can be run:
//XXXXXXXX JOB ...
//SARPAC EXEC PGM=SARPAC,PARM='VIEW_HLQ' <=== MODIFY DB NAME
//STEPLIB DD DISP=SHR,DSN=VIEW.CVDELOAD <=== MODIFY, IF USED
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=*
//SYSIN DD *
TAPESEQ=nnnnn-nnnnn
/*
//
. Note: The tape sequence number is the .T00nnnnn suffix on a tape DSN.
