CA Dynam for VSE User Guide

DYNCAT Commands
ID=
Optional parameter. Establishes a Catalog owner ID for all tapes associated
with a particular CA Dynam Catalog. The owner ID is placed in the VOL1 label
of the tapes belonging to the Catalog. Any tape that does not have a matching
owner ID will not be recognized during AVR if catalog checking is specified in
the DYNAM/T option record. A valid entry is 1 to 16 characters enclosed in
apostrophes.
It is possible to establish a Catalog owner ID that will be written on all output
tapes but not checked by AVR. To do this, specify CATCHK(NO) in the
DYNAM/T option record, and code the ID operand when initializing the Catalog.
Once all tapes have the owner ID in the VOL1 label, the checking feature may
be turned on by specifying CATCHK(YES) in the DYNAM/T option record. If no
ID is specified, a default of CA Dynam/T will be used.
If you have used the Catalog ownership feature on earlier releases of CA
Dynam/T and want to continue using it, you must ensure that the first 10
characters of the ownership codes are the same between the two releases. If
they are not, AVR will not recognize the tapes.
PASSword=
Optional parameter. Specifies the required password to display the passwords
for password-protected datasets. A valid entry is 1 to 8 characters enclosed in
apostrophes.
Important! The Catalog password does not appear on any report and cannot
be changed without reorganizing the Catalog; make sure to remember the
password.
SHARE=
Optional parameter. Indicates whether the Catalog file will be shared by
multiple systems. Valid entries are:
YES
NO
VSELOCK
The Catalog is shared.
The Catalogis not shared.
The Catalog is shared and enqueuing is done using the
VSE external lock file rather than internal CA methods.
The default is NO.
SORTkeys=
VOLumes=
Optional parameter. Specifies the number of sort key records that the Catalog
will contain. This value should be chosen carefully since it helps determine the
amount of space in the Catalog reserved for index area. A valid entry is a 1- to
6-digit number. The default is zero.
Optional parameter. Specifies the number of volume serial numbers that the
Catalog will contain. This value should be chosen carefully since it helps
determine the amount of space in the Catalog reserved for index area. A valid
entry is a 1- to 6-digit number. The default is 1000.
