When CA VM:Backup is not interfaced with CA VM:Tape, use the TAPEWAIT record to specify how long CA VM:Backup is to wait for the tape operator to respond to a tape-related request (for example, to mount a tape or override the expiration date on a tape). You can also specify in this record that CA VM:Backup is to issue reminder messages at regular intervals during the wait period.
TAPEWAIT wait [reminder]
If the wait time expires before the tape operator responds, CA VM:Backup puts the job on hold.
When CA VM:Backup is interfaced with CA VM:Tape, the wait time defined in the VMTAPE CONFIG file controls how long the CA VM:Backup waits for a response from an operator.
Specifies the number of minutes CA VM:Backup is to wait for the tape operator to reply after a request is made. This wait time must be a one-to four-digit integer between 1 and 9999.
Specifies the number of minutes CA VM:Backup is to wait between issuing reminder messages to the tape operator to respond to the message. This value is optional; however, if you specify a reminder interval, you must also specify a wait time. The reminder time must also be a one-to four-digit integer between 1 and 9999 that is less than or equal to the wait time.
You can include only one TAPEWAIT record in the VMBACKUP CONFIG file. The default is TAPEWAIT 120 5.
Interactive Reconfiguration
You can dynamically edit the TAPEWAIT record on the Define Wait Time Options screen. Any dynamic changes made to the TAPEWAIT record do not affect jobs that are currently running. The screen path is:
