PM99162: TAPE DATASET SUPPORT FOR TEST DATA MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS

Obtain the fix for this APAR.

APAR status

• Closed as new function.

Error description

• Provide support for datasets on Tape during Extract, Insert,
  Load, Convert and Create functions. The extract dataset can now
  be created on a Tape media. This new function also introduces
  the ability to register the extract files in the Optim Directory
  and also LIST the extract files that were created on DASD and
  Tape devices. Users will also have the ability to IMPORT old
  extract files and register them in the Optim Directory. New
  User/Site options and BATCH keywords will govern the
  registration of extract files. All of the panel changes and
  Batch Keyword changes are documented in Infocenter for Optim/z
  v7.2.0

  New function PTF to support Optim/z EXTRACT files to be written
  on Tape devices. Functions like INSERT, LOAD, DELETE, CREATE and
  CONVERT will be able to read from extract files written on Tape
  devices.
  

Problem conclusion

• Optim/z clients have requested the ability to write extract
  files directly to Tapes. This new function
  PTF will provide the following functions:-
  1. Ability to create Extract files on Tapes. Tape Volser, Label
  and Unit type should be entered by the user.
    EXTRACT_FILE(DSNAME PSTJS.EXTRACT.DDAF.DASD2 MODE REP
                 TAPE YES  VOLUME JSTAPE  FILENBR 1  UNIT CTAPE)
  
  2. Ability to perform INSERT, DELETE, LOAD, CREATE and CONVERT
  operations using Extract files stored on Tapes.
  3. Operations with tape can be performed only using Batch jobs.
  4. Optionally, register/catalog DASD Extract files in the Optim
  directory.
  5. LIST and IMPORT functions to allow the users to manage both
  DASD and Tape Extract files.
  6. Functional security exit sample to manage access to LIST and
  IMPORT functions.
  7. New User and Site Options:-
      Register DASD Extract file ===>  N           Y-Yes, N-No,
  U-User
      Replace Extr Dir in Batch   ===>  N           Y-Yes, N-No,
  U-User
  8. Batch Utility statements/Keywords:-
      a. SKIP_EXT_CATALOG (YES/NO) - Batch keyword to skip
  registering the Extract file. If you skip registering an Extract
  file
           on Tape, it can not be used in processes like INSERT,
  CONVERT, CREATE etc., unless it is IMPORTed.
  
      b. REPLACE_EXT_DIR (YES/NO) - Batch keyword to replace an
  existing Extract directory entry.
      c. Syntax for the BATCH Utility Statements DIR and DELETE
  will include a new TYPE EXT (for Extract).
           Examples:-
           DIR TYPE ALL NAME %  ==  Will ALL objects in the Optim
  Directory including EXTRACT Definitions.
           DIR TYPE EXT NAME
  PSTJS.RFM138.V720.DDAF.BATCH.XF1.DATA.CTAPE ==  Will list the
  Extract file
                                following the NAME parameter if it
  exists in the Optim Directory.
           DELETE TYPE EXT NAME
  PSTJS.RFM138.V720.DDAF.BATCH.XF1.DATA.CTAPE ==  Will let you
  delete a
                                specific EXTRACT File entry from
  the Optim Directory.
     d. Syntax for the BATCH Utility Statement REPORT will include
  a new keyword RPTTYPE EXT
         Example:-
         REPORT NAME PSTJS.RFM138.V720.DDAF.BATCH.XF1.DATA.CTAPE
         DDNAME PSDFRPR2
         RPTTYPE EXT
         WRAP_LINE NO
