Use the EDGHSKP utility to run inventory management activities which include: vital record processing, expiration processing, storage location management processing, backing up the control data set and journal and creating an extract data set. See Performing inventory management for more information.

Consider how to perform inventory management if you are using DFSMSrmm with BTLS. You need to complete the update to the BTLS catalog after inventory management is completed. Use the Access Method Services (AMS) LIBRARY SETCATEGORY command to update the status of the volumes managed by BTLS.

For example, to keep track of volumes that are managed by BTLS and to update information about volumes that are returning to scratch in the BTLS catalog, perform these tasks:

1. Put all your BTLS-managed volumes in racks with a specific media name, for example: BTLS. Any other method to identify BTLS volumes, such as rack number or volume prefix could be used instead.
2. After inventory management is complete, issue this command to create a list of BTLS racks in scratch status.

   RMM SEARCHRACK RACK(*) LIMIT(*) MEDIANAME(BTLS) SCRATCH -
       CLIST NOLIST

3. Use the resulting data set with the scratch volume list as the LIBIN DD input to an IDCAMS job with this command:
