Do I have to issue a separate command for each scartch volme? If I understand correctly I have to: 1. find all of the scratch volumes in CA-1 2. Issue the PRIVATE,VSN command for each of them 3. Issue the SCRATCH,VSN command for each of them.
Is this correct? I have opened an issue with CA support, but haven't heard from them yet.

Originally, for performance reasons within CTSSYNC we would compare the desired state (scratch or active) with what the TCDB says and if those two were already in-sync we would not perform an update. However, if the TCDB and LM themselves are not in-sync (something that should never happen but often does) the tape will never be used. A couple of ways to correct this, but the best way is to do a "double reset" with CTSSYNC. First, use CTSSYNC to set the status of all the scratch volumes to PRIVATE (ACTIVE). This forces the status to ACTIVE in the TCDB. Then, use CTSSYNC again to set the status of all the scratch volumes you just set to PRIVATE back to SCRATCH status. If the TCDB or originally said SCRATCH and the LM originally said ACTIVE what this double-change does is to first set the TCDB to ACTIVE (so it now matches the LM) and then sets both back to SCRATCH. If you simply tried to set the status to SCRATCH to begin with; OAM have seen that its database was already in SCRATCH and never have notified the LM. Which is probably where your problem lies. If you have any further problems, please contact CA 1 support. Even though this is an out-of-support release; they should be able to help.

We had this problem when going from CA1 V11.5 to V12.0. I'm not the CA1 support person here, but CA support knew exactly the problem. Something in CA1 changed how the library manager is being notified(or not, with the newer versions). There was something we had to turn on. I think the CA1 version of CBRUXENT became a requirement. _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President, Mainframe Services david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of ??? ?? ??? Sent: Thursday, September 20, 2012 7:29 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Syncronize between CA-1 and IBM ATL and VTS Hi, I am supporting a customer that has CA-1 and an IBM ATL and VTS. Their main site has no syncronization problems, but at the backup site, CA-1 and the ATL are out of sync. CA-1 reports many virtual scratch tapes, while the VTS reports none. There is no online communication between the two sites. Once every few months, the backup site is restored from tapes. This restore includes the CA-1 TMC and AUDIT datasets. How do I sync the ATL and VTS with CA-1? I tried using the CTSSYNC utility, but it doesn't seem to work. Any help would be apprreciated.
