Successful EJECT processing

z/OS DFSMS OAM Planning, Installation, and Storage Administration Guide for Tape Libraries
SC23-6867-00

When the EJECT completes successfully, the following processing occurs:
  • The requested volume is ejected from the library.

    For an ATLDS, the volume is placed in an output station of the library. The volume record is deleted from the library manager inventory. For an MTL volume, it is the responsibility of the operator to move the logically ejected volume to an appropriate shelf location. An eject completion message is sent to the optional TSO user ID specified on the macro invocation and to an MVS console.

  • The TCDB record for the volume is either kept or purged, as stipulated by one of the following:
    • The installation exit
    • The parameter specified on the macro invocation
    • The default disposition defined for all volumes in the library
  • If the TCDB record is kept, it is updated to note that the volume is no longer in the library.
  • When the EJECT of a volume is not successfully scheduled through the CBRXLCS macro invocation, the error messages are sent to the system log to provide an audit trail.

To have the cartridge eject installation exit (CBRUXEJC) notified when an eject request fails, see Failed eject notification processing.
