ROBAR-CL is the component for linking a BS2000 system and ROBAR-SV on the ROBAR server. ROBAR-CL processes, for example, the primary mounting and dismounting jobs involved in cartridge handling which are submitted by BS2000.
ROBAR-CL comprises of the following components:
DCAM application ROBAR-CL-DCAM (cartridge mount and dismount requests)
Cartridge mount and dismount requests are submitted by all tape-processing programs (e.g. HSMS/ARCHIVE, MAREN and INIT).
ROBAR-CL-DCAM is a process which has UCON authorization.
When a job submitter sends its requests to the operator console (“Console” interface), then ROBAR-CL-DCAM filters the messages from the UCON console message stream which are relevant to MTCs and passes them (in abbreviated form) to ROBAR-SV. For ROBAR-SV, these messages are the basis on which the archive system is controlled.
ROBAR-CL-SDF user program (organizational tasks)
Statements for the organization of cartridges are required for optimum utilization of the archive system. These organizational statements (e.g. importing/exporting of cartridges on a system and user-specific basis) are processed via the ROBAR-CL-SDF user program.
ROBAR-CL-SDF sends its requests to the operator console (“Console” interface), where they are handled by ROBAR-CL-DCAM as requests from tape-processing programs.
