Missing Operating System Intercepts (OSI) Detection

CA 1® Tape Management puts OSIs into the operating system by modifying Open/Close/EOV modules in LPA. These intercepts are page fixed to prevent their loss due to page refresh but are sometimes lost due to page free errors from other products and vendors. If the intercepts are missing, CA 1® Tape Management does not correctly process tape access or record all the information.

CA 1® Tape Management now runs a verification of all CA 1® Tape Management intercepts each time a tape is mounted for output. If any CA 1® Tape Management intercepts are missing the verification immediately alerts the data center with an error message.

Note: For more information, see the Programming Guide.
