Mthingy. Can I still use TelTape for z/OS? |
|
Does TelTape for z/OS
"stack" volumes to consolidate many volumes onto fewer output

|
I'm concerned about the integrity of
my TMC. When I copy datasets to virtual volumes, will the TMC retain the
original "creating jobname", "creation date", etc.? Or will
I now have responsibility for those datasets?! |
|
Tape datasets are created with all
kinds of proprietary software packages, and may even originate on non-OS/390 or
non-IBM platforms. Can TelTape for z/OS still copy the data? |
|
My TMC integrity is not the best.
What if there are datasets on the input tapes which are not reflected in the
TMC? Will I lose those "extra" datasets? |
|
I need to recatalog thousands of
datasets to the output volume serials. Also, some of the tapes currently have
device type 3480, but they should be 3490 after copying. Can TelTape for z/OS
help me with that? |
|
When do the dataset recatalogs
occur? |
|
There are tape datasets which are
currently not cataloged, and multiple copies of tape datasets with of course
only one being cataloged. How does TelTape for z/OS handle those
situations? |

multi-volume tape sets? |

As a project manager, I need to know
the status of copying many thousands of tapes. I don't have time to look
through the many messages printed on the audit trail. How can I find out our
status quickly? |
|
Is TelTape for z/OS used to copy
tapes managed by DFHSM, FDRABR, or DMS/OS? |
|
I've copied some tapes successfully,
but the recatalog failed. Do I need to copy the tapes again? |
|
It's difficult to keep track of
thousands of tape copies. What happens if I try to copy the same tape more than
once? |
|
I have my audit trail messages routed
to a disk GDG dataset. How do I monitor what messages are being generating by
the current jobs? How do I know what tape mounts are pending and what dataset
is currently being copied? |
|
I run a PULL-LIST early in the
morning, and then start copying a bit later in the day after locating the
needed tapes. What if the status of those tapes changes during that time? What
if my volumes are ejected from the silo before my copying job runs? |
|
Does TelTape for z/OS conflict with
my daily TMS house-keeping job? |
|
I don't have a tape management
system. Can I still use TelTape for z/OS to migrate data? |
|
I have a specific list of volume
serials that I want to copy. Can TelTape for z/OS use that list? |
|

serials of the tapes that I want to process? I don't type every ewll.
[SIC] |
|
I have alphanumeric volume serials.
Does TelTape for z/OS support that? |
|
I have a certain "target"
number of tapes I want to copy each day. Do I need to keep running simulations
until the "right" number of tapes are selected? |
|
What selection criteria are
available? |
|
Does TelTape for z/OS select
"Scratch" tapes for input to copying? |
|
What happens to the input tapes which
have been copied? Are they scratched? |
|
Do the output tapes retain their
volume serials, or do they get copied from the input volumes? |
|
I started up a TelTape for z/OS job
to copy "many" tapes. I even used some of the controls available to
limit the time I will spend copying the tapes. However, there is a shift change
and I need to shutdown the process. Should I cancel the job which is
running? |
|
Some of our tapes have gone missing.
Can TelTape for z/OS find them? |
|
We have a "mod" to our TMS.
Will that be a problem? |
|
In a problem management
"situation", how do I easily determine which tape 329943 was copied
to and when? |
|
Is it possible to get on-site setup
help? |
