Nick,
The way we do it is using the exit cbruxent. When you insert tapes into
the 3494, this mainframe OAM exit gets control and we use it to determine
which tapes get assigned to the mainframe and which tapes get ignored and
assigned a x'ff', insert code. We have a data set that the exit reads to
determine which tapes are assigned to the mainframe and which are
ignored. When we export data to tapes we eject them from the atl, update
the data set and then put them back in the atl. At that point they have a
x'ff' so they can be checked into the aix adsm and used for the import.
