Unless you trust the sender, Don’t click links or open attachments as it may be a Phishing email, which can steal your Information and compromise your Computer.] All, In many years, I haven’t seen this problem, really since the days pre-VTS, or even in early VTS days where tape drives were physical devices. Today we had a user allocate all 500 tape drives pulling data in Prod for whatever reason. It would sure be nice if there were some “controls” that could limit the simultaneous use of tape drives on a per user basis, whether batch job or TSO user. I don’t think there is anything today that could be done, is there? Hadnt had to think about this in a long time with so many virtual drives available. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ::DISCLAIMER:: ________________________________ The contents of this e-mail and any attachment(s) are confidential and intended for the named recipient(s) only.
