Copying Tapes for Distribution
Overriding Defaults
Two options for SLTCOPY are provided to allow additional control over the utility. The
options are INFO=NOWAITIO and INFO=WAITIO. You only need to use these options if you
want to override the SLTCOPY defaults. Refer to Table for SLTCOPY defaults.
To override the defaults, you should be very familiar with MPE/iX I/O operations.
WAITIO causes SLTCOPY to wait to send the next buffer until it receives an acknowledgment
from the system that the last buffer has been written to tape. NOWAITIO tells SLTCOPY not
to wait for the acknowledgment before sending the next buffer. This option is useful (and is
the default) when creating multiple output tapes. It allows SLTCOPY to create multiple
tapes virtually simultaneously.
To override the defaults listed in Table , you invoke SLTCOPY as follows.
If making one copy and wanting to use the NOWAITIO option, invoke SLTCOPY as follows:
:RUN SLTCOPY;INFO=“NOWAITIO”
You then respond 1 when SLTCOPY requests the number of copies.
If making multiple copies all at once and wanting to use the WAITIO option, invoke
SLTCOPY as follows:
:RUN SLTCOPY;INFO=“WAITIO”
You then specify the number of copies you want to make when SLTCOPY requests the
number of copies.
NOTE
Remote file access is not permitted for output tapes if the NOWAITIO option is
in effect.
