ADD-FOREIGN-DEVICE-TYPE Declare foreign device types in MAREN

&pagelevel(4)&pagelevel

Privilege                ADA, administrator without domains

This statement declares MAREN device types which are not managed by BS2000.

Subsequently tapes of this type can be added to MAREN using ADD-FREE-VOLUME, IMPORT-FOREIGN-VOLUME, or ADD-RESERVED-VOLUME.

Format

ADD-FOREIGN-DEVICE-TYPE                                                                                                       Alias: ADFDT
DEVICE-TYPE = <structured-name 1..8>

Operands

DEVICE-TYPE = <structured-name 1..8>
Specifies an arbitrary name under which the foreign device type is administered. Only names which are unknown to BS2000 may be used. Abbreviations are also allowed.

Notes

  • When the expiration date is reached, MAREN immediately releases tapes.

  • The free tape administrator MARENUCP does not operate foreign device types.

  • The MARENADM statement FREE-VOLUMES does not evaluate the INIT flag.

  • The MARENADM statement INIT-VOLUME rejects a foreign device type as DEVICE-TYPE.
