CARTS-TapeStacker analyzes the TMS Tape Management Catalog (TMC) and generates jobs that combine two or more tape datasets onto a single output tape.
Datasets are stacked and restacked onto an output tape according to parameters set with control files. After datasets have been stacked, tape usage increases on average from 20% to 95% of capacity. Tapes can be returned to the scratch pool after their datasets have been stacked onto another volume.
TapeStacker takes all single dataset and single volume tapes and consolidates them onto a single volume, enabling CARTS customers to save thousands of dollars in off-site fees after the first run.
