TMSVMUPD Utility—Update the TMC for Vault Management

TMSVMUPD is one of three batch programs that comprise the CA 1 Vault Management System (VMS). These programs are executed in the following order:

1. TMSVMEDT reads the Vault Pattern Description Data Set, selects eligible TMC records, and creates work data sets for TMSVMVLT.
2. TMSVMVLT uses output from TMSVMEDT to determine movement into and out of off-site vaults and the tape library. This program creates a data set for use by TMSVMUPD and a report writer such as CA Earl.
3. TMSVMUPD uses output from TMSVMVLT to update the TMC with the new vaulting environment information.
4. Picking, distribution, and inventory reports can be created using the output data set from TMSVMVLT. A report writer such as CA Earl can produce the reports in any sequence.

The Administration Guide provides a comprehensive discussion of the VMS.

Using the data set created by TMSVMVLT, TMSVMUPD updates the TMC to reflect the new vault pattern configuration. The data set created by TMSVMVLT is compared against the TMC. If a change in the vaulting fields is present in the input, the update is performed. All updates appear on TMS Report 26.

CA 1 must be active or batch active to process TMSVMUPD.
