Altering an optical library or optical disk drive results in an update to the corresponding database row to reflect the changes. Within the specified SCDS, the online status of the definition associated with the device is updated to reflect any change made to the online status.
The function used to alter an optical library or optical disk drive definition is only available when OAM is not running. This function prevents OAM from overwriting a change initiated from an ISMF Library Management dialog.
For more detail on altering optical libraries and optical disk drives with ISMF, see Altering a 3995 optical library, and Altering an optical disk drive.
