Install the TSO Interface

(Optional) This procedure enables CLIST to invoke the CA 1® Tape Management TSO interface.

The CA 1® Tape Management ISPF libraries are loaded onto disk during installation. To use the optional TSO interface to the CA 1® Tape Management Online Inquiry/Update System, create the following TSO CLIST:

PROC 0 D(DSN) P(PROMPT) DATEFMT(DEFAULT)
CALL 'CAI.CAILIB(TMSTSO)' '&D,&P,DATEFMT=''&DATEFMT'''
END
&D

Specifies the data set name verification option parameter. The verification option value NODSN allows the TMC record to be updated without verifying the data set name for that record.

If the data set name is allowed to be changed, specify NODSN.

If the data set name cannot be changed specify DSN must twice on the update command, once for the verification and again for the update. If DSN is specified, an update to any field requires data set name verification.

&P

Specifies the prompt for the access password parameter. PROMPT causes the prompt for the access password prior to invoking the external security interface. NOPROMPT is used only when the optional security exit, TMSXITS, is coded to supply a default access password.

&DATEFMT

Specifies the date format option for this session. In the example above, the date format pattern is set as DEFAULT. To specify a preferred date format by replace DEFAULT with the desired pattern, such as DATEFMT('MMMDD YYYY'). &DATEFMT must be preceded by two single quotes and followed by three single quotes.

Note: For more information about valid values, see the Utilities and Reports Reference Guide.

JCL is provided in hlq.CTAPCLS0(TSOTIQ). Manually edit the CA common load library name and default parameter values into the CLIST.

Install the Volume Pool Monitor

To monitor scratch availability and tape usage and to send an email or issue a WTO when specific conditions are met, optionally install the Volume Pool Monitor.

Follow these steps:

  1. Create the VSAM Database (VDB) by updating and running member CTSJVDBA in hlq.CTAPJCL.
  2. Initialize the VDB by updating and running member CTSJVDBI in hlq.CTAPJCL with PARM=INIT.

    The VDB initializes with default variables that the volume pool monitor uses. The VDB is prepared for updating through the CTS ISPF interface.

  3. Create the SEND data set by updating and running member CTSJSNDA in hlq.CTAPJCL.

    This job creates the SEND data set and loads it with sample members that create emails and WTOs.

  4. Follow the instructions in the comments of the job.
  5. Update the options variable OPT_EMAIL_DEFAULT_DSN with the name of the SEND data set. To update this variable, enter 1 on the CTS ISPF Primary Menu. To be presented with the CTS Option Variables List, select 2.
  6. Specify information about your email environment by updating the options variables. Identify the HOSTNAME, SMTP SYSOUT WRITER, and SYSOUT CLASS for each system where emails can be sent from.
  7. (Optional) Control the functioning of the VPM task and email or WTO processing by specifying other options variable.
  8. Create volume pools and alerts.

Note: For more information about the Volume Pool Monitor feature, the email environment setup, and the possible options variables, see the Administration Guide. For more information about the VDB and the SEND data set, see the Programming Guide.
