Messages Generated by VMTBUILD During TMC Processing

During TMC processing, the VMTBUILD utility generates the following messages:

Initializing the new volume library file filename filetype filemode

This is the first message after beginning the VMTBUILD utility. It indicates that VMTBUILD is processing SERIES records to create the TMC.

Initialization complete--nnnnnnn records

The initial formatting of the TMC or Audit file completed successfully. When formatting the Audit file, nnnnnnn is set to 1. For the TMC file, nnnnnnn is the number of volumes defined in the configuration file SERIES records plus three for control records.

Processing input file nn DDNAME = ddname

Indicates the input file being processed.

Processing multi-volume and multi-data set tape sets

Displayed when VMTBUILD is validating chaining information.

Record number nnnnnnn--Volser volser rejected--volume not found

During TMC formatting, an input record was read containing a volser outside the ranges specified by the SERIES records in the configuration file. The TMC record is ignored.

Volume volser number volseq based on 1stvol dropped--(PREV= prevvol, NEXT= nextvol)--reason

This message is generated for each volser in a multi-volume sequence for one of the following reasons:

• Duplicate sequence
• Volume not found
• Volume not saved
• Single volume
• Unconnected

Data set dsn number fileseq for volume volser rejected-reason

This message is generated for each data set record for one of the following reasons:

• Duplicate sequence number
• Volume not found
• Volume not saved
• Unconnected

nnnnnnn records read-nnnnnnn records ignored

Ignored records are either TMC control records or null (empty) data sets.

Volume records: nnnnnnn applied and nnnnnnn rejected

This message displays after each input volume record is processed. Applied volume records are input volser records successfully applied to the TMC. Rejected volume records are input volser records without a matching base volser in the new TMC.

Data set records: nnnnnnn passed nnnnnnn rejected nnnnnnn ignored

During TMC processing, VMTBUILD writes data set records to a temporary file. Data sets that are successfully written to the temporary file are counted as passed. Data sets that have no matching record in the new TMC are rejected. Ignored data sets are those records with an empty corresponding data set in the new TMC.

nnnnnnn total user input records read from nn file(s)--nnnnnnn ignored

Informational message displaying total statistics for total user input records read versus the number of records ignored.

Total volume records: nnnnnnn applied and nnnnnnn rejected

This message displays after all volume records have been processed. It provides total statistics for the number of volume records that were applied to the TMC and how many were rejected.

Total data set records: nnnnnnn passed and nnnnnnn rejected

This message displays after all input data set records have been processed. It provides total statistics for the number of data set records that were applied to the TMC and how many were rejected.

nnnnnnn volumes dropped from multi-volume tapeset

This message displays after each input volume record is processed.

nnnnnnn multi-volume tapesets

This message provides a total of the number of multi-volume sequences processed.

nnnnnnn multi-data set tapesets

This message provides a total of the number of multi-data set sequences processed.

Final number of data set records is nnnnnnn

This message provides a grand total of the number of data set records.
