– CA TLMS® Tape Management (CA TLMS) current release 12.6 ▪ 14.0 is incremental waiting for customer validation
Centralized. It is a transaction based system with all VMF updates done by the TLMS sub-task of CTS. Tape retention by default is controlled by a tape librarian who can allow users to set retention via JCL.
CA 1 – R14.0 ▪ New Option – RPGDG – Will act the same as RP but will only apply to GDG’s. – It will default to the same value as RP if not specified. – An example would be: RP 005 RPGDG CATALOG
▪ Advantages: – Allows for easier assignment of default retention based on the type of file being created. – Easy way to set all GDGs to have a default of CATALOG as their retention. 10
▪ New Option – EXPSECA and EXPSECV – EXPSECA (Expiration Security Action) – values are NONE, WARN and ABEND – Determines if an external security call (similar to BLPRES and BLPNORES) should be made for use of high-value RETPD or EXPDT values (including EXPDT=99365) TMSEXPDT pgm.
▪ Advantages: – Allows for a way to control the usage of PERMANENT via JCL keyword through security rules
– If EXPSECA is NONE, then EXPSECV is ignored. – If EXPSECV=3650, (and EXPSECA is WARN or ABEND) – a security call will be made whenever a file is created with an EXPDT/RETPD more than 10 years in the future of 99365. – No security call for LDATE, CYCLE or CATALOG control files
