RESCAP

The RESCAP macro is used to specify error counts, channel utilization percents and other variable data pertaining to the file capture/restore facility. It is also used to input the channel, control unit and relative speed data for available tape units. RESCAP is required if the capture and restore utility is desired.

Format




CAPTO=n
System pause time-out factor in seconds. This value is the maximum amount of time allowed for a capture or restore to complete when a pause message is entered. The value inserted should be greater than the slowest time required to capture/restore a module. For test purposes it has been set at 455 seconds.

TPREW=86|n
Maximum rewind and unload time in seconds for any tape device which can be utilized by capture/restore. This value should be at least equal to the maximum rewind and unload time for the slowest tape device on the system, plus an operator considerations factor (i.e., time required to mount a new tape). Zero is not valid. Default is 86 seconds, the value for an ECCST cartridge.

SECUR=60|n
Time interval in seconds at which the capture/restore Security program is activated to determine if capture or restore read/write entries are processing longer than expected. Zero is not valid.

ABRTO=30|n
Maximum amount of time in seconds allowed for entries to abort after an abort message is entered. Zero is not valid.

TPERR
Tape error counts.

3|a
Number of times an internal tape mount will be attempted prior to aborting the module. Zero is invalid.

60|b
Time interval in seconds which must elapse between unsuccessful tape mount retries. This value is used in conjunction with "a" above in attempting to mount tapes. Zero is invalid.

3|c
Number of attempts made by the Restore package to initially read the header of a tape to be restored.

DKERR
Disk error counts.

0|a
Number of times capture will retry an individual disk error (in addition to system error retry procedures).

0|b
Number of times restore will retry an individual disk error (in addition to system error retry procedures).
