CA Dynam for VSE User Guide

Tape File Management Utilities
• The default dtfname of the catalog from which the volume status
information is to be extracted is CAICATL. If you are extracting data from
another catalog, use the CATNAME control statement to specify the
dtfname of the catalog.
• The EXTRACT command is controlled by the DTPATH option record. Each
CPUID present in the input CA Dynam Catalog must be defined in the
DTNODE option record.
REMOVE Command
The REMOVE command is used to remove externally controlled volume records
from the CA Dynam Catalog. In effect, the REMOVE command reverses the
processes of the APPLY command for the specified node (CPUID).
Format:
REMOVE CPUID=cpu
where:
CPUID=cpu
corresponds to the CPUID as specified by the NCPUID parameter of the
DTNODE option record.
Example:
// JOB REMOVE
// EXEC TDYNSYNC,SIZE=128K
REMOVE CPUID=Z
/*
/&
Note: The default dtfname of the catalog from which the volume status
information is to be extracted is CAICATL. If you are extracting data from
another catalog, use the CATNAME control statement to specify the dtfname of
the catalog.
SYNC Command
The SYNC command takes as input two extract files (one from each of two
systems) and creates two output files (one for each of the systems) that
contain updates to synchronize the two tape catalogs. The input files are
assigned to dtfnames CAT1IN and CAT2IN. The output files are created using
dtfnames CAT1OUT and CAT2OUT. The output file CAT1OUT is an update file
for the catalog used to create the file CAT1IN, while the file CAT2OUT is an
update file for the catalog used to create the file CAT2IN.
