Possible Conflict
If the MAXSCRATCH symbol is different
in different TAPESTART.COM
files, then that MAXSCRATCH value
resulting in the conflict is added to the
conflicts file.
If the media type is duplicated, the duplicate
media type name is added to the
conflicts file. In SLS/MDMS V2.x, you
can have the same media type name with
Compaction and Nocompaction
attributes set. But, in ABS/MDMS V4.x,
you cannot have duplicate media types.
You need to change the name of one of
the media type and enter it into the database
again. You might have to change
ABS or HSM and the respective volume,
and drive objects to reflect the media
type change.
If the NET_REQUEST_TIMEOUT is
different in different TAPE-
START.COM files, then that TIMEOUT
value resulting in the conflict is added to
the conflicts file.
If the PROTECTION is different in different
TAPESTART.COM files, then that
“PROTECTION” attribute resulting in
the conflict is added to the conflicts file.
If the drive’s automatic reply is changed,
then the modified attribute resulting in
the conflict is added to the conflicts file.
If the jukebox is already defined and any
of the attributes change, the changed
attribute resulting in the conflict is added
to the conflicts file.
TAPEPURGE_MAIL If defined, adds the “MAIL”
attribute to the domain
object.
If the TAPEPURGE_MAIL is different
in different TAPESTART.COM
files, then that TAPEPURGE_MAIL
value resulting in the conflict is
added to the conflicts file.
TOPERS
TRANS_AGE
If defined, adds the
“OPCOM CLASS” attribute
to the domain object.
If defined, adds the “TRAN-
SITION TIME” attribute to
the domain object.
If the TOPERS symbol is different
in different TAPESTART.COM files,
then that TOPERS symbol resulting
in the conflict is added to the conflicts
file.
If the TRANS_AGE symbol is different
in different TAPESTART.COM
