ALTER |
Alters previously defined catalog
entries or certain catalog attributes, including entries for tape
volume catalogs. |
CREATE |
Creates tape library or tape volume
entries. |
DEFINE |
Defines catalog entries. |
DEFINE CLUSTER |
Defines VVDSs and catalog entries. |
DEFINE USERCATALOG |
Defines user catalogs including tape
volume catalogs (DEFINE USERCATALOG VOLCATALOG). |
DELETE |
Deletes catalog and VVDS entries,
data sets, catalogs, VVDSs, and data set control blocks in the VTOC. |
DIAGNOSE |
Determines whether the content of
BCS or VVDS records is invalid or unsynchronized. Diagnose recognizes
tape library and tape volume record types. It checks the cell structure
of the volume catalog. |
EXAMINE |
Determines whether structural errors
exist in the index or data component of a BCS. |
EXPORT |
Creates a backup copy of a catalog
or copy that can be moved to another system or volume. |
EXPORT DISCONNECT |
Disconnects the catalog from the
master catalog. |
IMPORT |
Restores an exported backup copy
of a catalog, or makes a catalog that was previously exported from
one system available for use in another system. |
IMPORT CONNECT |
Connects the catalog to the master
catalog on the same system, or on any shared system. |
LISTCAT |
Lists catalog entries including entries
for tape volume catalogs. |
PRINT |
Prints data set or catalog records. |
REPRO |
Copies catalogs; splits catalog entries
between two catalogs; merges catalog entries into another user catalog
or master catalog. REPRO supports tape volume catalogs. |
VERIFY |
Causes a catalog to reflect the end
of a data set correctly after an error that prevented closing a catalog
data set. The error might cause the catalog to be incorrect. |
Restriction: The access method services ALTER,
CREATE, and DELETE commands should only be used to recover from
tape volume catalog errors. Because access method services cannot
change the library manager inventory in an automated tape library,
ISMF should be used for normal tape library ALTER, CREATE, and DELETE
functions.
