Re: ATL Processing with TLMS
A new chapter was added recently with the r11.5 version of TLMS. You can download those manuals from SupportConnect, and even if you are still running r11.0 (or even the unsupported R5.5) the documentation will be applicable to you. After reading the new chapter, if you still have a problem please contact CA-Dynam/TLMS support.

Re: ATL Processing with TLMS
We don't use TLMS, we use CA-1, but we modified our CA-1 vault distribution report to help. It's "the simplest thing that could possibly work" and it hasn't given us any problem We added code to our vault distribution report (an Earl program, may be common to TLMS as well) to create a file of eject commands for our STK robot, and then scheduled a subsequent STK utility to actually issue the commands. The code was originally designed when we had a Memorex ATL and thousands of 3490 cartridges, of which a few hundred were ejected on Mondays after the weekend backups, so it has one additional feature: using logic derived from how we vault the tapes, we calculate a 'return date' for each tape, and we sort the eject commands into order by 'return date' and then volume. This allowed us to group tapes into plastic carrying cases, slap a 'return date' on them, and have people just grab cases to return tapes to the center on that date. It wasn't perfect but worked okay; now, of course, with 9840 cartridges, it's not so useful since they just put all of the tapes into the minimum number of boxes and they have to look through them anyway. I can send a description of, and the code for, our modifications to TMSVLT02 (not sure of the legality of sending the entire program code since the base TMSVLT02 belongs to CA).

Re: ATL Processing with TLMS
Tim, et al, I've talked with the operations area to see how things were done pre-ATL and they pointed me to the job that listed tapes to be pulled for offsite. I'm going to visit that code and work in my needs. Thank you all.

Re: ATL Processing with TLMS
If you set up TLMS vaulting there is an exit TLMSXUDP that will eject the tapes when you do vault movement. Also make sure you look at the CBRUXENT and CBRUXVNL exits. Our ATL is set up as the data center and during a vault change (non Data Center) TLMSXUDP passes commands to OAM to eject the volume. The operator looks at the vault movement report and moves the tape to its new location. George -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Daniel A.
