TIQ allows updates to keyword fields in the TMC records.
Note: The supported keywords and their meanings are described in the Programming Guide.
When an update request is issued for a TMC record, CA 1 first responds with the current status and contents of the field(s) for which the update was requested. No change is made to a volume or DSNB record until the change is confirmed by the operator. The operator is always provided an opportunity to confirm or cancel the update request prior to any action being taken by TIQ on a TMC record.
When TIQ is initialized, parameters can be passed to define whether updates can be performed only if the data set name currently stored in the TMC record is supplied with the update request. If the data set name verification is not established, and a data set name is provided in an update request, the data set name field is modified as specified.
Volumes that are under CA 1 Data Set Security password protection can be updated only if security requirements are met.
Updates to certain fields of multivolume data sets can be performed only on the first volume in the set. The update is applied to all chained volumes. Update is prohibited for TMC records associated with tapes owned by CA Dynam/T.
Some volume record fields may be rejected for update, depending upon the media type of the volume.
The following TMC fields can only be updated for WORM tapes:
The following TMC fields can only be updated for non-WORM tapes:
