Step 3- Execute CTSJRMM2

This step will read in the DFSMSrmm extract file from the previous step and convert it into a common Earl format. The actual JCL can be found in the CAI.CTAPJCL library, member CTSJRMM2. This job will create two files, the DBRECS DD statement will be the actual records that are being converted. If there were any extracted records that could not be converted, they will be put to the CADIAG01 statement. This can then be used to diagnose any problems with the DFSMSrmm extract file.

Step 4- Modify Common Record (Optional)

Once the DFSMSrmm database has been extracted into the common Earl format, you may optionally modify the data within the common Earl file. Job CTSJRMM3 in CAI.CTAPJCL provides the JCL and Earl statements necessary to allow you to drop certain ranges of volumes or select specific accounting codes for conversion and several other options. If you choose to modify the common Earl file you must make changes to the Earl statements provided. The input for this program is the output file created in Step 3. A new common Earl file will be written to the OUTFILE DD which will be used as input to the next step.

Step 5- Update the VMF

Job TLMJ2TRN will take the modified OUTFILE from either Step 4 or the DBRECS output from Step 3 and update the VMF. Ensure that there is no tape activity during this timeframe. If the ALOG becomes full during this update step, execute proc CATALOGB to dump the ALOG records. The VMFTRANS DD statement will contain a list of all the transactions that could not be processed.

Step 6- Execute CATVCVS and Correct Reported Chaining Errors

Execute proc CATVCVS to report any multi-volume errors in the VMF. See "Maintaining the Volume Master File" documentation in the Configuration Guide on the errors and how to correct them.

After the VMF conversion and CATVCVS cleanup activities you should run the CA TLMS Tape Retention System (CATTRS) utility TLMSTRS in FORECAST mode to identify any possible scratch activity. This will allow you to take any preventive action to preserve volumes that you do not want to move to scratch status by defining Retention Master File (RMF) rules to retain these volumes. See the User Guide for more information on the TLMSTRS utility.

ZARA Conversion to CA TLMS

Step 1- Perform ZARA Maintenance

Execute the ZARAUTL proc with a SYSIN of VERIFY $$. VERIFY checks the next volume and previous volume pointers on each volume to determine if volume chains are intact. It also checks multiple-file volumes to ensure that the expected files are present. Correct any chaining errors from the VERIFY report.

Note: Only ZARA Release v1r6 and later are supported.

Step 2- Execute the ZARA Extract JCL

Execute CTSJZAR1 in the CAI.CTAPJCL library produce the ZARA extract file. The output file from DD ZARAOUT will be used in the next step as input.
