Scratching Tapes

To scratch tapes on z/OS systems, use the TMSCLEAN utility, then use the CA VM:Tape REFRESH command to update the pointer and picklist files and to synchronize the ARM catalog with the TMC.

If your site has a procedure in place on the z/OS system to synchronize the ARM with the TMC, then REFRESH (NOSYNC is all that is required.

Note: For more information about the REFRESH command, see the Command Reference Guide.
