FATSCOPY

Mass Tape Data Migration FATS Tape Quality Control FATAR Tape Data Tool

FATSCOPY All Functions:- Run on z/OS Support all z/OS tape technology Support existing tape drives and VTS’s ISPF panels for ease of use

FATSCOPY High Performance Tape Data Migration Mass Copying Media Conversion VTS Population Tape Stacking

FATSCOPY Main uses:- When you install a new tape subsystem And need to move existing tape data to the new media Eg 3490 to TS1130 CA-1 RMM

FATSCOPY Includes converting to VTS Eg 3490 to VTS Or old VTS to new VTS Or VTS to non-VTS tape Or to Tapeless VTS All common VTS’s supported

FATSCOPY Very easy to do Copy 1000’s of tapes / datasets in one job Simple JCL & Control Statements ISPF Panels

FATSCOPY Select by – Explicit or masked volser - BA1007 or BA10* Volser ranges or lists - BA1007 incr. by 1 for a max. of 50 Explicit or masked (CAT)DSN -SYSP.DBPROD.TABLE -SYSP.DB*.* Device Type /3592/……. Physical volume in VTS Tape Management System -TMSIN=RMM or CA1

FATSCOPY SELECT by – Creation date - CRDATE>= ,CRDATE<= Expiration date - EXPDATE>= Creating job name - CRJOB=(PAY*,INV*) Dataset size File seq no.

FATSCOPY Stacking- Consolidate sparse tapes together Free volumes and silo slots As part of migration to new media Periodically as on-going maintenance on new media

FATSCOPY Stacking - Group files by expiration date or input volser or….

FATSCOPY User experience… “We had 1000's of 3480/3490E tapes in our disaster recovery site. We used FATSCOPY to copy them to IBM 3590 Magstar tapes which reduced our offsite storage cost by 90%!”

FATSCOPY Tape Managers- Interfaces to CA-1, CA-TLMS and DFSMSrmm Data used in selection criteria TMS data applied to new tapes Keep or scratch the original tapes

FATSCOPY Other Features- Simulations Audit Checkpoint / Restart ‘Restart’ a real copy from a checkpoint made by a Simulation Exploited by the ISPF panels

FATSCOPY Other Features- ABR and HSM ML2 tapes supported Other externally-recorded tapes … call us

Easy-to-use, high-performance z/OS tape copy, consolidation, migration and conversion utility that can automate the process of copying and recataloging tape-based data sets from one tape media to another, including Virtual Tape, Vtape and VTS systems. Interfaces with CA-1 and RMM Simulation – makes it easy to verify that the expected files/tapes will be selected before the process run for real More information on the CD and our website: DEMO: FATSCOPY Summarize
