You can make OPERATOR a SECUSER of RMSMASTR for this purpose.

Route the FSMSMS3203I to operator's log would not be a deep development... and a better way to trigger vmtape, vmbackup...

Here, it is NOT happy if it tries to start when RMSMASTR isn't ready. (Maybe we can chat Richard!) Basically what we do is to have a sleep in autolog2 to start up RMSMASTR, wait a few minutes and then do VMTAPE. It's not precise, but it works for us. :-) "Schuh, Richard" ---07/28/2010 01:24:33 PM---You could always loop while trying to mount a tape.

When it is mounted, RMSMASTR is ready.:-) In reality, the tape manager should be able to wait to open the interface until RMSMASTR is ready. Here, we have both a VTS, controlled by RMSMASTR, and 2 SL3000s, controlled by STKACS, and some tapes that are outside the silos. VMTAPE manages to initialize before RMSMASTR is ready and is quite happy adding the VTS to its stable when it is ready. If you really need to insure that RMSMASTR is running, you need an Observer or a Secuser of it that looks for the message FSMSMS3203I RMSMASTR is running.
