We put an ATL in last year. Not being familiar with all the goodies that TLMS has we rolled out some REXX code to produce ejects based on DSNs. Seemed to work until this past weekend we ran out of scratches in the ATL and all we had appeared to be offsite at the vault. This morning I re-inventoried the ATL and much to my surprise I had over 400 scratch tapes inside that weren't scratch before and should have been. Then today's library run produced an eject list in excess of 100 volumes, way beyond normal for a weekday. Then the CTSSYNC step kicked out a gaggle of errors about the ATL synchronization being bypassed and tape managment not active. According to CA I can run the eject followed by the synch or the synch followed by the eject with no difference. We're going crazy trying to figure out why we get so many errors and all the looking and questions sent to CA haven't yielded a good solid solution yet. I'm getting ready to install TLMS 11.5 SP1 to see if maybe it will help. Have any of you ATL users run into similar issues? We really want to nail this down as next month we add a VTS to the fray. Thank you in advance.
