Tapetool question

2019-02-27 Thread Gadi Ben-Avi
Hi, I would like to create a job that will tell me if all virtual volumes on one member of a TS7760 grid have been copied to another member of the grid. I know how to use BVIR to get a list of the status of all virtual volumes on each grid. Is there a program, possibly part of the TapeTools pack

In the unlikely event that IBM actually includes all of the features of JES3 in JES2, then I think that it will be stronger, albeit with a painful transition. If they do as they have so often done and provide only partial equivalents, then it will be negative. I'm assuming that, e.g., user exit
