Tape Processing Micro Focus and JCL DD Statements |

Introduction
When a batch job is migrated from a mainframe to a Linux, UNIX or Windows system running the Micro Focus Enterprise Server the processing of tape files may be a requirement. Since Micro Focus checks the DD statements for syntax that includes tape it does not issue an error and a sequential file will be written to a pre-determined disk drive. This approach works well for the smaller backup requirements but may not offer a solution for the larger and more complex tape requirements. Also, a user may have a business/technical requirement or service agreement to use tape storage media.
A number of vendors (such as IBM, HP, Quantum and others) provide tape drives that attach to Linux, UNIX or Windows Systems. The Linear Tape-Open (LTO) is an open-format tape storage technology developed in the late 1990's by Centance, Hewlett-Packard (HP), and International Business Machines (IBM). Centance was later acquired by Quantum in 2004. The term "open-format" means that users have access to multiple sources of storage media products that will be compatible. The standard form-factor of LTO technology goes by the name Ultrium, the original version of which was released in 2000 and could hold 100 GB of data in a single cartridge. The LTO-5 was released in 2010 and can hold 3 TB in the same size cartridge. The high-capacity implementation of LTO technology is known as the LTO Ultrium format, or simply LTO Ultrium.
LTO-6 products were made available in 2013 and support a tape cartridge storage capacity of up to 6.25TB. LTO-6 drives and tapes also feature data transfer rates of up to 400MB per second resulting in more than 1.4 terabytes of compressed data per hour. As with previous generations, LTO-6 drives provide backward compatibility with the ability to read and write LTO Generation 5 cartridges and read LTO Generation 4 cartridges, helping to preserve media investments and ease of implementation.
We have made a significant effort to ensure the documents and software technologies are correct and accurate. We reserve the right to make changes without notice at any time. The function delivered in this version is based upon the enhancement requests from a specific group of users. The intent is to provide changes as the need arises and in a timeframe that is dependent upon the availability of resources.

JCL Members for Tape Processing
This section describes three possible approaches for processing JCL that includes Tape files.
| 1. | Route the output to a physical location specified by the Micro Focus Enterprise Server Instance. This approach requires no changes to the JCL. |
| 2. | Route the output to a physical location based on the file name. This approach is dependent on the naming conventions used for tape files. This approach would require no changes to the JCL. This approach would use the ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE function provided within the Micro Focus Enterprise Server. |
| 3. | Route the output to a physical location based on the parameter specified in a DATACLAS keyword. This approach most likely require changes to the JCL. Also, this approach would use the ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE function provided within the Micro Focus Enterprise Server. |
Write to Default Location
On the Mainframe System this example uses IEBGENER to write a file to tape based on the UNIT=tape-definition parameter on the DD statement for SYSUT2. With Micro Focus Enterprise Server the DD statement is syntax checked but the files are actually written to Disk.
Note: The output file will be written to the default file location defined for the Micro Focus Server Instance.
The following JCL Member (TAPC80J8.jcl) is used to demonstrate the use of a DD statement to specify a tape storage unit.

Location based on File Name
This approach will route the output to a physical location based on the file name. This approach is dependent on the user-defined naming conventions used for tape files. This approach would require no changes to the JCL. This approach would use the ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE function provided within the Micro Focus Enterprise Server.
The following JCL Member (TAPC80J1.jcl) is used to place the file in a specific folder (or directory) based on the first two qualifiers in the Data Set Name (DSN).

Location based on DATACLAS
This approach will route the output to a physical location based on the parameter specified in a DATACLAS keyword. This approach will most likely require changes to the JCL. Also, this approach would use the ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE function provided within the Micro Focus Enterprise Server.
The following JCL Member (TAPC80J2.jcl) is used to place the file in a specific folder (or directory) based on the DATACLAS parameter.

Define a Location for Tape Files
The files that are defined as tape files have a UNIT=CART (or TAPE, 3590 and more) definition on the DD statement. The following is an example of using the high-level qualifiers of the MVS File Name or the DATACLAS function to route the tape files to a specific drive/directory. This technique uses the ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE function of Micro Focus Enterprise Server.
The following Member (CATMAPA1.cfg) is the configuration file used by the ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE function.
# ---------------------------------------------------------------- # This example will focus on Micro Focus Enterprise Server and the # Mainframe Sub-System (or ES/MSS). When a Region (or Server) is # configured within Micro Focus Enterprise Server to run batch jobs # (i.e. submit JCL) a default directory is defined and used for # placement of new physical files that are allocate by a job. # This is an example of how to catalog a new data set and override # the base configuration and place the physical file in an # alternate directory.. The technique provides the capability to # key off any portion of a catalog record to control the target # directory where the physical files will reside. # # All keywords must be in UPPER case. # # Each rule can occupy only 1 line. Examples are below: # # The rules are applied to any new catalog record in the order # in which they occur in this file. The first rule that matches # upon an offset within the catalog record will be used. # # Note: To have the catalogs retain their portability it is a # good practice to keep the "SUBDIR" directories at the # same level or in directories that are children of the # directory containing the CATALOG.DAT file. In the # example below the CATALOG.DAT file may be located in # "C:\SimoSam1\DEVL\DATA\". This is not an absolute # requirement. However, this will help with the # maintenance and support efforts. # # To enable set the following environment variable: # # ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE=d:\dirname\CatMapA1.cfg # # The name of the configuration file can be any valid Windows # file name. In the following examples there is one rule that is # keying off the High Level Qualifier or HLQ (SIMOTIME.WRK1), one # that is keying off the fact that it is a “spool” record, etc. # ---------------------------------------------------------------- # # Key off of the DATACLAS value.

Possibilities and Considerations
The following is a list of the tasks for this effort.
| 1. | The preferred, long-term approach would need Micro Focus development involvement to help capture and track the “UNIT=parameter”, “VOL=parameter” and “LABEL=parameter” information. |
| 2. | An interim approach is to continue to route the tape to a sequential file on disk. This may require consulting and services to implement and possibly modify JCL to help identify and route the tape files to a predefined location on disk. |
| 3. | For the short-term this may require using the DSN name (this would be dependent on a user's naming conventions for tape files) or the use of DATACLAS. This would allow ES_ALLOC_OVERRIDE to re-route the tape files to a predefined directory. |
| 4. | We will need to identify and acquire a physical tape device along with vendor support. |
| 4.1. | The estimated cost for an entry level device would be $6,000.00USD. We could use Quantum, HP or IBM with an LTO-5 Ultrium unit. |
| 4.2. | The LTO-5 Cartridges for 1.5TB/3.0TB list for $125.00USD but are currently being sold for less than $75.00USD. |
| 5. | For the backup and retention requirements we will need to develop a base example to be used as a starting point for monitoring the predefined directory of tape files and their subsequent transfer to tape storage media. |
| 6. | For the on-demand requirements we will need to develop an example that can be used as a model. |
| 7. | Evaluate options for the physical labeling and possible barcode print requirements. |
Note: The LTO Ultrium technology continues to improve. Pricing options and capability should be reviewed with the vendors. LTO-6 became generally available in 2013.
