Tape Device Allocation Problems

When you experience an allocation problem, use the information in this section to diagnose and resolve the problem. If you cannot resolve the problem yourself, then contact CA Technical Support for assistance. Most device allocation problems you may encounter fall into one of the following categories:

• A job allocates a different device than you expected.
• TPCF responds to z/OS allocation recovery messages in a different way than you expected.
• A dual allocation occurs.
• Allocation stops, hangs, or is delayed on all systems.
