Changing the write protection for image catalog entries for virtual tape
Use this information to change the write protection for virtual tape media.
All image catalog entries include a write-protect switch, which functions
identically to the write-protect switch located on the actual media. The default setting
is that the image catalog entry is not write-protected.
Note: All image catalog
entries in dependent catalogs are write protected.
When you add a new image catalog entry to an image catalog, the image catalog entry is not write-protected by default. After you add an image catalog entry to an image catalog, you can change whether it is write-protected with the Change Image Catalog Entry (CHGIMGCLGE) command.
To change an image catalog entry no be write-protected, type the following command, where the image catalog name is MYCAT and the image catalog index is 3:
CHGIMGCLGE IMGCLG(MYCAT) IMGCLGIDX(3) WRTPTC(*YES)
To change an image catalog entry to be not write-protected, type the following command where the image catalog name is MYCAT and the image catalog index is 3:
CHGIMGCLGE IMGCLG(MYCAT) IMGCLGIDX(3) WRTPTC(*NO)
