Hi Tim, You said: "... but there are at least three choices ..." Other than RACF, ACF2 and TSS are there others?

Re: Anyone using IBM Cloud Tape Connector?
Brian, You do not need any other software. Only other thing you need is subscription to cloud storage e.g. Amazon S3. Using VTE (CTC virtual tape) component is quite helpful to manage and tracking. It can be integrate with your existing Tape management software e.g. CA1, RMM etc. Thanks, Prashant IBM Mainframe Discussion List wrote on 09-01-2021 11:36:23: > From: Brian Westerman > To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU > Date: 09-01-2021 11:36 > Subject: [EXTERNAL] Anyone using IBM Cloud Tape Connector? > Sent by: IBM Mainframe Discussion List > > Is anyone using IBM's Cloud Tape Connector product that can tell me > about the software requirements for it?
