Copying Tapes for Distribution
:FILE COPY n =COPY n:nodename ;DEV=TAPE
where:
n number of copies.
nodename name used to specify the remote system.
NOTE You can only copy to multiple remote tapes if you invoke SLTCOPY with the
WAITIO option. Refer to “Overriding Defaults.”
The following example shows how to copy from a master CSLT on a local tape drive to a
remote tape drive on a system called REMSYS. Only the part of the procedure that differs
from the normal procedure for copying is shown.
:DSLINE REMSYS
:REMOTE HELLO username.account,group
:FILE COPY1=COPY1:REMSYS;DEV=TAPE
:SLTCOPY
Select mode (? = help) Select mode 2 or 3
1 Copy tape to disk file
2 Copy disk file to tape
3 Copy tape to tape
Which option do you wish to use < Enter 'E' to exit>? 3
Copying CSLT Volumes in Batch Mode
You can also run SLTCOPY in batch mode. To do this, you must build a job stream that:
1. Logs in to a group with the appropriate capabilities (PM, ND, and SF)
2. Sets any required file equations
3. Invokes SLTCOPY
4. Provides responses to the SLTCOPY prompts for information. The responses will vary
depending on which option is chosen. Each response must appear on a separate line in
the job stream.
When you run the job stream, replies for the tape devices will still be required at the
console. If an error occurs, SLTCOPY will write the cause of the error to the spoolfile, and the
job will abort. The following is an example job stream called COPYJOB used for copying tape
to tape:
!JOB COPYJOB, MANAGER.SYS,INSTALL
!COMMENT On the next two lines, 3 is the option (tape to tape)
!COMMENT and 2 is the number of tapes
