Nick,
The way we do it is using the exit cbruxent.  When you insert tapes into
the 3494, this mainframe OAM exit gets control and we use it to determine
which tapes get assigned to the mainframe and which tapes get ignored and
assigned a x'ff', insert code.  We have a data set that the exit reads to
determine which tapes are assigned to the mainframe and which are
ignored.  When we export data to tapes we eject them from the atl, update
the data set and then put them back in the atl.  At that point they have a
x'ff' so they can be checked into the aix adsm and used for the import.

Hello all,
     I hope you can help me, we have two ADSM environments, one on OS390
and the
other on AIX both sharing the same IBM 3494 library. We are trying to
export all
of our data from OS390 to the the AIX ADSM server and are encountering a few
problems. I have exported some policy information which has worked succesfully
on OS390. The problem is when I try to import the information to the AIX
server,
I get an error about the category the tape is assigned to in the 3494
library -
it still recognises it as a mainframe assigned tape.
Our categories on the AIX server are 301 for private and 300 for scratch. How
can I modify the category for all exported OS390 tapes so I can then re-assign
them to the 301 private category on our AIX server thus allowing me to import
succesfully?

Any help would be appreciated.

many thanks,
Nick
