In order to keep track of the few tapes I use, without covering
my walls with Post-Its identifying volsers, when possible I append
a small data set at the end of each with a data set name
identifying the purpose and creation date.
That's why people use RMM or CA-1, or other TMS.
I suppose my bias is that I'm familiar with DSLIST; for CA-1 I'd
need to learn YA UI.
I don't know what is YA UI or DSLIST (p.3.4 ???).
I know RMM only, so my further comments regard RMM, not CA-1.
Will CA-1 let me create handles or aliases in the TMC without
actual data sets on the tapes? (My only problem is that testers
scan the tapes and complain about undocumented data sets that I
use as handles.)
If I understand correctly a volume ownership would be sufficient for
you. YOUR volumes in RMM are YOURS. You can narrow your searches in
various ways. BTW: don't mess user volumes with master volumes
Most of my tapes are for testing; they expire in a week or a month
and CA-1 nicely scratches them and removes them from the VSAM
catalog. If I catalog a handle in the VSAM catalog, would CA-1
be aware of it and uncatalog it when it scratches the tape? I
fear not.
RMM can scratch the volume because dataset is uncataloged or uncatalog
dataset, because the volume goes to scratch. At least one of the options
should satisfy your request ;-)
Unfortunately, I understand the VSAM catalog is not indexed by
volser, so there's no simple way to uncatalog every data set
on a specified volume, especially if it's impossible to read
their VTOC entries.
VSAM catalog??? Do you mean ICF ?
VSAM catalogs are dead for approx. 10 years.
BTW: you can easily list datasets by the volume in RMM.
