CA 1 ROBSCR Option

The CA 1 TMSCLEAN job returns volumes to scratch status. If the ROBTY fields of the Virtual Volume VOLSER range in the CA 1 TMC have been updated to a value of x’88 and the ROBSCR option is set to Y, TMSCLEAN will automatically notify CA Vtape as each Virtual Volume is expired.

For this notification to occur, the TMSCLEAN program must have access to the CA Vtape CCUULOAD data set by adding a STEPLIB DD to the TMSLCEAN JCL or by adding the CCUULOAD data set to the link list.

Note: The Scratch Synchronization Job should still be customized and executed once a week or month to ensure that all scratched Virtual Volumes are kept in-sync.
