Other exclusion filter parameters
Use these parameters to create exclusion filters based on various tape characteristics and on the system IDs of the processors on which the tapes were created.
For example, you could exclude tapes that are previously copied or that contain permanent I/O errors.
- REQU_EXCL_PREVCPY=Y|N
- Indicates whether to exclude tapes that are previously copied with Tape Optimizer. Valid values are Y (exclude copies) and N (do not exclude copies). Corresponds to the Tapes previously copied field on the Other Filters panel (GTOP02G) in the Tape Optimizer interface.
- REQU_PEND_SCRATCH_EXC=Y|N
- Indicates whether to exclude tapes that have the DFSMSrmm™ status of PENDING SCRATCH. These tapes are about to be released to the scratch pool for re-use. Valid values are Y (exclude these tapes) and N (do not exclude these tapes). Corresponds to the Tapes Pending Scratch field on the Other Filters panel (GTOP02G) in the Tape Optimizer interface.
- REQU_SYSID_EXCn=system_ID
- Specifies the system ID of a processor on which the tapes that you want to exclude from the copy request were created. A system ID can be up to four characters long. You can specify up to four system IDs by incrementing the last digit of the parameter name by one. That is, you can specify REQU_SYSID_EXC1, REQU_SYSID_EXC2, REQU_SYSID_EXC3, and REQU_SYSID_EXC4. Corresponds to the Create System ID field under Exclude Filters on the Other Filters panel (GTOP02G) in the Tape Optimizer interface.
- REQU_TAPE_PERM_IOERR_EXC=Y|N
- Indicates whether to exclude tapes that have permanent I/O errors. These errors indicate that the tape data has been damaged or lost. Valid values are Y (exclude these tapes) and N (do not exclude these tapes). Corresponds to the Tapes with Permanent I/O Errors field on the Other Filters panel (GTOP02G) in the Tape Optimizer interface.
