Accessing Output for Browsing

Be aware of the considerations that apply to archived output that has been retrieved:

• If the chosen output resides on disk

  or

  has been temporarily loaded to disk:

  You have immediate access to the output.

• If the chosen output resides only on tape(1)

  and

  you are authorized for online tape mounts(2):

  The system operator is notified to mount the tape.

  Note that your terminal remains locked until the tape has been mounted and your output has been copied to disk.

• If the chosen output resides only on tape1

  and

  your site has the Expanded Access Server for Tape and Robotics

  and

  the report is specified by ERO parameter VIEWTAPE as being viewable from tape:

  You have access to the output.

¹Only TSO and ISPF/SPF online allow tape mounting.

²For all TSO users (both native TSO and ISPF/SPF), your authorization for online tape mounts is determined by how your system administrator configured your account with the TSO ACCOUNT command. Alternatively, your site may choose to disable all online tape mounts for CA View with the MOUNT=NO option.
