Configuring Tape Manager

After you install Tape Manager, you are ready to configure the product so that it contains your customized information. The process for modifying the Tape Manager configuration (SYS CONFIG) file is described in this chapter.

Note: This chapter describes a standard Tape Manager configuration file. Communication with the DFSMS/MVS component, Removable Media Manager (RMM), can be requested in the Tape Manager configuration (SYS CONFIG) file. The Tape Manager catalog is not used when running an RMM catalog, and all tape requests are deferred to the Tape Manager z/OS® RMM agent for authorization checking and catalog management. For more information on RMM, refer to these appendices:

The rest of this chapter describes the statements that are part of the standard Tape Manager configuration file. Examples are provided so you can see how to use each statement and its parameters.
