cancel checkout request

[dkastens]

Hi,
I have defined a new VTL in our TSM server (8.1.17) with 1000 virtual tapes. Because it is not working as expected, I wanted to checkout all volumes from the library. But now, for each single tape a new request is shown, that has to be replied to. I don't want to reply to 1000 requests. The checkout process can not be cancelled. "q proc" only shows "Cancel pending". When I reply to a request with "reply 6", it is accepted an the next request appears. How can I interrupt the process.

If you do not want to be prompted for a reply each time that we issue the checkin libv command, use the waittime=0 .

ie: Checkin libv library_name search=yes status=scratch waittime=0

Good Luck,
Sias

Thanks, I didn't know the waittime option.
The problem were my 1000 outstanding requests. I simply created a file with 1000 lines from "reply 1" to "reply 1000" and pasted it to the dsmadmc shell. After a few minutes all requests have been replied
