Using the AUDIT VOLUMECONTROLS (BACKUP) command

When you specify the AUDIT VOLUMECONTROLS (BACKUP) parameter, AUDIT first cross-checks BCDS backup volume records for consistency with other related DFSMShsm control records.

If there is no backup volume record for a specified volume serial number, AUDIT reports *ERR 70.

For an existing backup volume record (for a specified volume serial, or for each backup volume of a specified type), AUDIT makes the following checks:
  • If the alternate volume serials for duplex volumes do not match between the TTOC and either the MCT or MCV, AUDIT reports *ERR 58.
  • If the backup volume record indicates a tape volume, but there is no TTOC record, AUDIT reports *ERR 71.
  • If the backup volume record indicates a RACF® protected volume, but the TTOC record does not, or vice versa, AUDIT reports *ERR 52.
  • If the backup volume and TTOC records indicate RACF protection, but there is no entry in RACF TAPEVOL for the volume, AUDIT reports *ERR 53.
  • If there is a RACF TAPEVOL entry for the volume, but the backup volume and TTOC records do not indicate RACF protection, AUDIT reports *ERR 53.
  • If there is no entry in the appropriate backup volume cycle (R) record, AUDIT reports *ERR 77.
  • If the backup volume record indicates a tape, and the existing backup volume cycle entry indicates a DASD volume, or vice versa, AUDIT reports *ERR 74.
  • If the backup volume record indicates a volume that’s full, but the backup volume cycle entry does not, or vice versa, AUDIT reports *ERR 75.
  • If the backup volume record indicates a single file format tape, but the backup volume cycle entry does not, or vice versa, AUDIT reports *ERR 76.
