The CA TLMS Tape Retention System (TRS) uses the information stored in the Retention Master File (RMF) to control volume storage and retention. The records contained in the RMF are created as a result of control statements which you code to define storage and retention requirements.
Control statements supply information such as the location of cabinet and box storage, and movement to another location. Retention criteria is applied based on pattern masked data set and job names. The control statements are in a free form with a command and keywords. They may be continued on as many records as needed but a keyword may not be continued.
The procedure which executes the Tape Retention System is CATTRS. An optional report may be produced which shows how individual volumes are being retained at their current location, and to which location they are moved when the current retention criteria are met. After a volume has moved through the entire retention schedule, it is returned as a scratch tape to the data center.
