Special Option Descriptions Activating and Deactivating BIM-EPIC
5-42 BIM-EPIC Installation and System Guide
Store the 8-byte creating job name in the BIM-EPIC catalog as the concatenation of the
current date MM + the current date DD + the current date Y (units digit) + the last three
characters of the actual current job name only if the first five characters of the actual current
job name are numeric.
EPS094=YES suppresses autocatalog related messages EP023 (autocatalog for VSE TLBL or
DLBL statements), and EPM30, EPM31, and EPM32 (autocatalog for BIM-EPIC DD
statements and BIM-EPIC support for native processing of CA-System/Manager TLBL and
DLBL statements).
EPS095 is used in installations that have one or more IBM ACLs (Automatic Cartridge
Libraries).
If set to YES, when BIM-EPIC is ready to send a “set volser x to scratch” command to an
ACL, the following logic is applied:
Verify that “volser x” is in the current EPIC Tape Pool.
If it is not, the “set volser x to scratch” command will not be sent to the ACL even if
“volser x” is in the ACLs inventory.
If it is, the “set volser x to scratch” command will be sent to the ACL.
This logic is applied to scratch actions generated by TSIDMNT, EPIC Online Manager
(EOM) and to ACL SYNC processing.
If set to NO (the default), normal BIM-EPIC ACL logic will apply for scratch actions.
It is recommended that this special option only be considered only in IBM ACL environments
using VTS with the FASTREADY option and multiple BIM-EPIC catalogs.
In a VM environment where the VSE Guest has only 3490 tape units, and all are of the same
type (all 3490 or all 3490-E), allow BIM-EPIC to use them for output operations without an
initial ATTACH/DETACH sequence having been done after a VSE/ESA IPL.
After a VSE/ESA IPL in a VM environment , BIM-EPIC is not aware of whether a tape
cartridge drive is a 3490 or a 3490-E until the cuu has been attached to the VSE Guest for the
first time. This is because the VSE PUB Extension is not completed until this has been done;
and means that during BIM-EPIC’s output AVR process, 3490 drives will not be recognized.
If set to YES, BIM-EPIC assumes that all tape cartridge devices are 3490's and will allow
them to be used for output even if an ATTACH/DETACH has not been done.
The default is NO.
