Specifying a Tape Location as the Input Source
If the software is on tape:
1. In the Request Source Options dialog box, click Tape drive if it is not already
selected.
2. To override the default tape drive, enter the tape drive name in the Tape drive field
or select a drive from the scrollable list of host tape drives.
3. If the tape has an external physical label, enter the ID in the Optional external tape
ID field. This is not a standard tape label written to the tape. It is an optional
handwritten label for visually identifying a tape.
4. Click OK.
Specifying a Disk Location as the Input Source
Distribution subvolumes (DSVs) are subvolumes used as input sources. Each DSV
must contain an A0CINFO file that describes the files in the subvolume. See
A0CINFO
Files on page D-7. If the software is on disk:
1. In the Request Source Options dialog box, click Volume.subvolume.
2. Enter the names of all subvolumes containing the input. To update the list, use the
Add and Remove buttons. Use the ? and * wild-card characters to signify a single
or multiple characters, respectively. For example:
\OAK.$TREE.?EAF could get \OAK.$TREE.LEAF
\OAK.$TREE.AC* could get \OAK.$TREE.ACORN
3. Click OK.
