Information for customizing AUTORxx

This topic lists, for each DFSMSrmm WTOR message, information that you should consider when deciding what changes (if any) you want to implement in your AUTORxx member:

Message number and text
Severity (None, Low, Medium, High) indicates the level of impairment to the operation of DFSMSrmm and its ability to manage tape processing if the operator does not respond to the WTOR or gives an inappropriate response (for example CANCEL, IGNORE).
Tape Processing stopped? shows whether tape use is prevented while this WTOR is outstanding.
Parallel mode shows the delay in seconds (s) or minutes (m) and the provided reply for this WTOR when PARMLIB(AUTORRP) is in effect
Production mode shows the delay in seconds (s) or minutes (m) and the provided reply for this WTOR when PARMLIB(AUTORRM) is in effect
Additional comments about each message.

For more information about the messages in this topic, refer to z/OS MVS System Messages, Vol 5 (EDG-GFS) and to the DFSMSrmm operator procedures topic in z/OS DFSMSrmm Managing and Using Removable Media.
