Issue/Introduction

Description:

Step by step instructions follow for replacing a STK robot with an IBM.

Solution:

NOTE: CA DYNAM/T for VM does not support different flavors of robots at the same time. You can not drive a STK robot and an IBM robot from the same DYNAMCMS service machine. If you are a z/VSE user of DYNAM/T, a z/VSE guest can only communicate with one DYNAMCMS service machine.

To change to an interface to the IBM robot from STK, make the following updates using CA ACTIVATOR:

1. From task TC30-I009 remove ACSALLOW and ACSDIALG parameters.
   
   
2. From task TC30-I010 remove set IBMALLOW to ON.
   
   
3. From task TC30-I030 define your IBM robot. The Lib Id will be 1 character from 0 to F that identifies the library. It is used in the
   OWNERID of the dataset if you specify ECFLAG=2
   
   
4. From task TC30-I018 specify ECFLAG 02 if you want to have several scratch pools. You may already have that setting.
   Remove ACSSERV parameter
   Specify IBM3495 : YES
   Review parameters CTLSCR and UCTLSCR. CTLSCR identify the first and last volume serial number located in the IBM robot that are
   to be under CA DYNAM/T for VM control. UCTLSCR would specify a range within the CTLSCR but that is NOT located in the
   IBM robot.
   
   
5. In task TC30-I031 specify the mdisks where the CSL routines and FSMPPSI are located.
   
   
6. Execute task TC30I024
   
   
7. Execute task TC30I028
   
   
8. Execute CA-CIS task Y430I003
   
   
9. Execute task TC30I029
   When starting DYNAM you should see messages:
   CADT874I IBM INITIALIZATION STARTED
   CADT875I IBM INITIALIZATION COMPLETE
   
   If you don't get this messages, the IBM interface is not correctly installed.
   Please refer to Implementing Robot System to BrightStor CA-Dynam/T for VM in chapter 6 of the CA DYNAM/T VM Getting Started Guide for R3.
