CA TLMS provides standard utility programs and procedures to perform initialization, backup, restore, and recovery for the Volume Master File, the VMF index file, the Retention Master File, the Alternate Log (ALOG) file, and the multiple access message queue file. (The VMF, VMF index, and RMF must be initialized when CA TLMS is installed; the other files only have to be initialized if you are using the optional features that require those files.)
Sample procedures for each utility detailed in this chapter can be found in the target (operating) procedure library CAI.CTAPPROC. They are listed below and discussed in this chapter in alphabetical order.
