CA TLMS TLMSRACF Scratch Exit Support for the IBM 3494 VTS

The TLMSRACF security exit provided by CA TLMS is appropriate for both 3494 ATL and 3494 VTS environments. It is not required, however it may be installed to keep the OAM TCDB synchronized when a volume is put into scratch status by CA TLMS. Simple customization of this exit is required to activate the call to LCS to synchronize scratch status. Member TLMU003 of CAI.CTAPJCL is provided for this purpose.

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).
