11.1.9 Scratch reporting

Perform this step when you need to obtain information about volumes in scratch

status. Sample job EDGJSCRL is provided in SYS1.SAMPLIB.

This job invokes the following procedures:

 EDGPRPTX: Creates an updated DFSMSrmm report extract file. For doing

this, it runs the EDGHSKP utility with RPTEXT parameter. It allocates the new

report extract file using the procedure EDGPRPTA.

 EDGPSCRL: It uses EDGRPTD reporting utility for generating the latest

scratch lists using files SCRLIST and NEWSCR.

11.1.10 Ejecting volumes from a system-managed tape library

This task ejects volumes from system-managed tape libraries when volume

movement is required. You should also consider VTS export processing in this

step. Similar processing is required for any non-system-managed volumes, which

you have in your library.

A sample IBM Tivoli Workload Scheduler for z/OS job is available in

SYS1.SAMPLIB member EDGJEJC. This job invokes EDGPEJC procedure. You

must execute this procedure once for each library in your installation, changing

the library name (FROM), destination (TO), and output station (EJECT) in each

case.

EDGPEJC procedure has two steps:

1. Creates a list of volumes to be moved from a system-managed library. The list

is created using the command shown in Example 11-2.

Example 11-2 TSO RMM search volume command

RMM SV VOL(*) OWN(*) LIMIT(*) LOC(&FROM) DEST(&TO) INTRANSIT(N) -

CLIST(“RMM CV”,”EJECT(&EJECT)”)

The parameter CLIST allows you to create a set of commands for all the

volumes in the generated list.

2. Uses the set of commands generated in the previous step for ejecting the

volumes. The general command is shown in Example 11-3.

Example 11-3 TSO RMM change volume command

RMM CV volser EJECT(&EJECT)
