FAVER2 Transparency › Activating the FAVER2 Transparency

Activating the FAVER2 Transparency

The FAVER2 transparency can be activated in one of two ways:

Automatically

When the tape is being opened, FAVER examines the file characteristics in the tape label. If it passes certain tests, it is detected as being a FAVER2 file and the FAVER2 transparency is activated. The auto-detection logic will work for most situations. When the FAVER2 Transparency is activated automatically, CA-FAVER issues the following message:

    GV702 FAVER2/VSE INPUT DATA SET DETECTED

Manually

In the event CA-FAVER may not detect the FAVER2 file properly, the following mechanisms may be used to manually activate it.

• For restore processing, use the FAVER2 parameter. When executing GVRESTOR, add the FAVER2 parameter to the RESTORE command. Alternatively, you can change the DD name for the input file from FVRIN0 to FVR2IN0. GVRESTOR looks for the FVRIN0 DD first, so be sure to rename the FVRIN0 DD, and not simply add a FVR2IN0 DD statement.
• For GVFILE applications (GVCOPY, GVMAP, and client written programs), change the FVRFILE DD name to FVR2FILE.

Whether it was activated automatically or manually, when the Transparency is activated, the following message is displayed:

    GV703 FAVER2/VSE TRANSPARENCY ACTIVE
