The OSFILTR parmlib member contains Data Set Name Filter include and exclude definitions, as well as SMS Data Class include definitions. These definitions determine what data sets are to be processed by CA Vtape, and what groups will be assigned to those data sets.
Important! You must define at least one Include section containing one filter for CA Vtape in order to intercept tape mounts.
While active, the CA Vtape Subsystem can dynamically reload the filter member attributes by using the SVTn REFRESH=FiLTers console command.
Because the filter member contains local definitions that are Subsystem-specific, the SVTn REFRESH=FiLTers console command needs to be issued for each Subsystem sharing a common filter member that has been modified. If this is not done, then only the Subsystem for which the command was issued will pick up the changes.
OSFILTR contains an index section named Dataset Filters that references at least one include data set or include data class section with customizable names. Multiple include data set, exclude data set, and include data class sections can be referenced. Each customized section name referenced must be unique and must exist in the same member as the Dataset Filters Section. A section that does not exist will provoke a validation error when CA Vtape is started or when the SVTn REFRESH=FILTERS console command is issued.
