Question:
A new IBM 3494/VTS Robot System has been implemented.
Initialization of a broad volser range under CA Dynam/T control using the DYNCAT INT Command is required.
Can you provide a JCL example or other procedure for the DYNCAT INT we have to run and the volser will be mounted automatically?
Answer:
The easiest method to realize this automatically is in VM (CMS userID CAIMAINT).
- Attach a drive within the Robot as 181 to the CAIMAINT userid!
- Enter command: DYNAMCMS DYNCAT
- For example use the INT command like this (depending on your needs):
CADC800D ENTER DYNCAT COMMAND
INT 181 VOL=volnum NEW DEN=08E OWNER=11
DEN is depending the drive emulation (3490E = 08E, 3590 = 08M 3590E = 08W)!
volnum is the volser number located in one of the scratch categories in the IBM 3494/VTS Library (IBMLIB) !
After the INT command has finished, the volser will be unloaded and a new INT command can be entered.
Additional Information:
This can also be done using an EXEC Procedure!
