The output file from Step 3 is converted into the common Earl format. The JCL to run this step can also be found in the CAI.CTAPJCL library, member CTSJCTL2 or CTSJCTL5. The output from this step is in the common Earl format and is modified in the next step.
Once the Control/T database has been extracted into the common Earl format, you may optionally modify the data within the common Earl file. Job CTSJCTL3 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 the program is the output file created in Step 4. A new common Earl file will be written to the OUTFILE DD which will be used as input to the next step.
Job TLMJ2TRN will take the modified OUTFILE from Step 4 or the OUTFILE from Step 5 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.
Execute proc CATVCVS to report any multi-volume errors in the VMF. See the "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.
