CA TLMS, CA CTS, and CA Gate are designed to operate under all IBM-supported levels of z/OS. All IBM compatible tape devices are supported.
An operator console is required to permit tape librarians to perform online inquiry and update if they will not be using TSO. Any console that is supported by the IBM Multiple Console Support (MCS) can be used.
There may be restrictions concerning combinations of consoles and printers. To help you choose devices that are appropriate for your data center, see the system generation manual for your system and the programming pages of the IBM manual, Service For Consultants.
A printing device is required if you want to print external gummed tape labels. You can use any printer that is supported by MCS.
If you wish to print external gummed labels, order them several weeks before you need them. It is recommended that plain labels with an NCR (noncarbon required) backing be used. Two different types of labels are required for cartridge tapes and reel tapes; the cartridge tapes (3480/3490/3590s) have a different physical structure from the 3400/2400 tapes.
The External Gummed Label task (LAB) described in the Configuration Guide allows you to modify the labels generated by CA TLMS.
