To access the common librarian command functions, go to the CA 1 ISPF Primary Option Menu, type 2 (for UTILITIES) and press ENTER.
The following functions are available on the CA 1 ISPF Utilities Menu:
Activates an inactive (deleted) volume serial number to make it available for use. The volume serial number must be in the TMC and in inactive (delete) status.
Checks in a tape that was previously out-of-area. If the Multivolume Process field on the utilities menu contains a Y, and the volume specified is a multivolume, all volumes are checked in.
Updates cleaning statistics to indicate a tape volume has been cleaned. This function tells CA 1 that a tape has been cleaned before it was marked as needing cleaning on the Scratch and Clean List.
Note: This utility cannot be used for the 3592 WORM tapes.
Marks a tape volume as inactive (deleted) when the volume is in scratch status, making the volume unavailable for use and for most reporting.
Changes the expiration date of a volume to the current system date.
Extends the expiration date of a volume for a specified number of days from the current expiration date.
Provides the capability to create an external label request for a volume serial number or a cataloged data set. The external label request being generated is processed by the Online Label Interface. For more information, see Common Tape System. If the Multivolume Process field on the utilities menu contains a Y and the volume specified is part of a multivolume chain, an external label request is generated for every volume in the chain.
Sets the expiration date of a volume to a specified number of days from the creation date.
Checks a tape volume out-of-area. The SLOT value should only be updated for non-multivolume data sets. If the Multivolume Process field on the utilities menu contains a Y, and the volume specified is part of a multivolume chain, all volumes on the chain are checked out.
Indicates volume has gone through physical degauss. The TMDEGAU setting for TMFLAG4 of the CA 1 TMC volume record is turned on.
Scratches a volume set immediately. Enter the volume serial number for the base volume of the volume set. The volume set is checked, to make sure it is eligible for being scratched. The utility cannot be used to scratch 3592 WORM tapes. If eligible, a confirmation screen is shown before the scratch is actually performed. If not eligible, a brief message is displayed. For more detailed information, press the PF HELP key.
