Control and request files on SM pubsets

SM pubsets can be transported from host to host or shared by different HSMS versions. Therefore the control and request files on the SM pubsets are both upwardly and downwardly compatible.

During HSMS startup processing and HSMS import processing, the request files are accessible after a maximum wait time of 10 minutes.

An archive definition or a request created by any HSMS version can be read by all other HSMS versions. But the archive definition/the request can only be processed if the HSMS version concerned supports the requested function (see section "Working with SM pubsets and different HSMS versions").
