Does anyone have any experience with a tape copy utility called Tape/Assist from 21stCenturySoftware. I know of Tivoli Tape Optimizer for z/OS, Innovations FATSCOPY and Opentech's TAPECOPY. These all have varying degrees of expense from reasonable to expensive.
The objective is to use the utility to migrate data from a very old IBM VTS to a not too old VTS and then recatalog the files along with updating the RMM entries. Like to understand if anyone has done this with Tape/Assist for the cost is a bit unbelieveable (in the hundreds of dollars versus thousands for the others). Let know either onlist of offlist. jim ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
