CA TLMS TLMSRACF Scratch Exit

The TLMSRACF scratch exit for CA TLMS is called every time a volume is put into scratch status. This exit may also be customized to keep the OAM TCDB synchronized with the VMF when volumes are scratched. Simple customization of this exit is required to activate the call to LCS to synchronize scratch status. Member TLMJU003 of CAI.CTAPJCL is provided for this purpose. It contains sample JCL to apply USERMOD TLMU003.

The OAM TCDB may also be synchronized by executing the CTSSYNC utility, described below. Use of the TLMSRACF interface provides immediate synchronization of volumes as they are scratched and reduces or eliminates the need to run the CTSSYNC utility for synchronization purposes (it will still need to be run for eject processing).
