TAPEOPER Record

Use the TAPEOPER record to identify the user IDs that are to receive tape mount requests and other tape-related messages (for example, requests for permission to override tape expiration dates).

TAPEOPER userids...

Important! All user IDs specified to receive tape-related messages (that is, tape operators) will receive all such messages from CA VM:Backup, and any tape operator can respond. If no operator responds before the allowed wait time elapses, CA VM:Backup places the job on hold.

Definitions

userids...

Specifies the user IDs that are to receive tape mount requests and other tape-related messages. You should specify at least one user ID to respond to requests. You cannot use pattern matching.

Description

You can include any number of TAPEOPER records in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file. The default is TAPEOPER OP. OP ensures that the VM system operator receives these messages, regardless of the actual user ID (it may or may not be OPERATOR).

Interactive Reconfiguration

You can dynamically edit the TAPEOPER record on the Manage Authorizations screen. The screen path is:

  1. System Administrator Main Menu
  2. Manage Authorizations
