Tape Pull List for Queued Restore Requests

If you use the deferred restore capability, you can also want to generate a list of tapes to be pulled out of the tape library prior to running the job that actually restores the data sets. A utility to create this list is provided.

The following JCL can be used. (It is also supplied as member PULLJCL in the CA Disk installation library.) The only alteration needed is to supply the proper data set names as indicated in the sample JCL.

To generate the list, run this JCL prior to running the dispose job as described previous. The only condition this utility does not provide for is the insertion of a DRESTORE request after the running of this job but before the dispose job. In this case, the dispose job can call for a mount of an archive tape that was not in the list.
