DFSMS RMM

    Updating SYS1.SAMPLIB(EDGJRECV) to not require lost tape rack number or create new sample member to recover virtual volume

    Currently, the EDGJRECV sample for recovering lost tape volume records in RMM CDS requires rack number in the IN1 DD CARD, which is not possible for virtual/logical volumes, so the sample cannot be used to recover lost virtual tape volume records.

    RMM should keep RMM database in sync with VTS and TCCB

    We have had several instances over the years where the issuance of an RMM command has resulted in the RMM database being out of sync with the TCDB and VTS volume repository. In general we would like RMM to keep its' repository in sync with the TCD...

    Expand EDGSPLCS utility capabilities to support correcting library manager category code discrepancies

    The EDGSPLCS utility does not seem to support updating the LM category code for tape volumes. Currently, it seems that the utility can correct the use attribute in the Volcat, or correct the status in the RMM CDS, but not the LM category code.
