OAM - CBR0054I

[Mark Pace]

We recently removed our 3494 tape library. So we stopped using DFRMM and
OAM.

Today we are installing a Luminex virtual tape system. I've recreated all
the tape stuff in SMS, DC, SG, SC and library.

When I go to start OAM I get message
CBR0054I OAM has initialized without object tape support.

*Explanation:* OAM has initialized without a valid OAM=XX keyword in either
| the OAM PROCLIB member or on the START OAM operator command. Object tape
| processing has been bypassed.

This is the same proc we used in the past. I've never issued OAM=xx before,
not can I find any documentation on what that means.

Has any one seen this before and have an explanation of what it means?

OAM is obsolete. Remember mainframe based optical drives? That's what OAM
was for. It interfaced with DB2 which was where it kept it's catalog. OTIS
was in there too, somewhere.

Ignore it. I do with no problems.

OAM is used for SMS Tape management.

Maybe this apar OA38956: CBR0401I OSREQ RETRIEVE RET = 00000010 REAS =
D0030441

****************************************************************
* USERS AFFECTED: OAM Object support users who do not have *
* a valid OAM=XX keyword specified in *
* either their OAM PROCLIB member or on the *
* START OAM operator command. *
****************************************************************
* PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: The following message is issued when *
* attempting to processing an object *
* that resides on tape: *
* *
* CBR0401I OSREQ RETRIEVE unsuccessful. *
* Return code = 00000010 reason code = *
* D0030441. *
****************************************************************
* RECOMMENDATION: *
****************************************************************
During OAM initialization (start or restart), if a valid OAM=XX
keyword has not been specified in either the OAM PROCLIB member
or on the START OAM operator command, object tape processing for
object support will be bypassed. When object tape processing
is bypassed, any attempt to process an object that resides on a
tape will fail with the following message:

CBR0401I OSREQ RETRIEVE unsuccessful. Return code = 00000010
reason code = D0030441.

When appropriate, this APAR will issue a new warning message
(CBR0054I) to indicate OAM has bypassed object tape support.

CBR0054I - New Message.

CBR0054I OAM has initialized without object tape support.

Explanation: OAM has initialized without a valid OAM=XX keyword

in either the OAM PROCLIB member or on the START OAM operator
command. Object tape processing has been bypassed.

System Action: No object tape requests will be honored.

System Programmer Response: If you need OAM Object tape
support you must specify a valid
OAM=XX keyword.

Source: Object Access Method (OAM)

OAM means Object Access Method, used for special kind of files, which
could be kept on optical media (magneto-optical actually), but OAM is
also started task *required* for using IBM tape libraries, like 3494.
So for the most people OAM is just device driver for tape library. And
of course it interfaces with RMM.

We see this message since the introduction of the TS7700 VTS. It says we
don't have object support, but we don't have objects either, so this is
just correct information.

You're right. OAM is for tape management. OTIS is for Optical disk. I am
simply not going to reply to messages after taking a sleeping aid any more.

Hi John,
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but the elevator company is not for Optical Disk. OAM uses OTIS to interface to DB2. We have a large OAMPLEX and have never had optical disk but we do need OTIS.

Hum, what does OAM use DB2 for? I was under the impression that it was only
for optical disk. Obviously I was wrong.

Hi John,
OAM uses DB2 to maintain information about the objects. Here is the quote from the OAM Planning Guide

"Object Storage and Retrieval (OSR). Component of OAM that stores, retrieves, and deletes objects. OSR stores objects in the storage hierarchy and maintains the information about these objects in DB2 databases. "

Doug

[John McKown]

I'll need to read up on that. We use OAM for our SMS managed tapes, but
don't have DB2. So it must be for something other than tapes. I was under
the impression that OAM was only for SMS managed tapes and optical disk.
guess I was wrong.

Hi John,
Yes, tape infomation is kept in TCDB (ie VOLCAT's). We use IBM's Content Manager on Demand and that use's OAM to store and retrieve objects (statements, reports, etc). The information about these objects is what is kept in DB2. The objects themselves are resides on disk or tape.

Thanks. I've never heard of "Content Manager on Demand" the only "on
Demand" around here is "do more for less money!"

After reading all the related appends about this I would think many would still be confused about OAM.

The specific message is related to OAM 'object tape support'. This is nothing to do with OAM system managed tape library support. Try this EA session which explains more http://publib.boulder.ibm.com/infocenter/ieduasst/stgv1r0/index.jsp?topic=/com.ibm.iea.zos/zos/1.0/DFSMS/V1R0-General-OAMSupport/player.html

OAM provides 2 main functions - tape library support, and Object support. You can exploit one without the other. If using Objects, you can optionally use its Object tape support to store objects on tape.

Only worry about this message if you are using the Object support and want to store some of the objects on tape.
