Scratch tapes between Robot and TMC not in sync.

Products

• CA 1 Flexible Storage

Issue/Introduction

 

After setting ROBSCR option equal to YES my robot and TMC are not in sync. The robot is not showing tapes in scratch status. CA1 is not notifying the robot.

 

Resolution

 

With the options ROBSCR=YES a check is done to ensure that the tapes in the TMC have the ROBTY field filled in. This is set by updating the CBRUXENT exit at the ATLTABLE label of the code. For tapes that may be in the robot prior to updating this code you will need to run TMSUPDTE and update the ROBTY field. To re-sync the robot and TMC, run CTSSYNC with PARM=SYNC.
