Jim--

a. I believe the DSPTAP / *OUTFILE does have a field for 'system' (RDSYSN), but it appears to be the system that did the DSPTAP!
The contents of the VOL/HDR1/HDR2 labels don't seem to have any reference (other than "OS400") to the system that created the file.

b. Our backup log sheets to indicate what system the tape was created on; I've added a parm to my command to force the correct value... but it'd be nicer if it were automatic.

btw-- we, too make the VOLID = bar code-- Robot/Save is happier that way.

Two options:
a. DSPTAP DEV(TAP01) SEQNBR(*FIRST *ONLY) DATA(*LABELS) OUTPUT(*OUTFILE)
OUTFILE(QGPL/ZDSPTAPL)

read the file for the 1 record
System System Record Device
name date/time Type name
S10156DA 1080522222251 1 TAP01

b. Every daily (or what ever schedule) save do a rtvobjd of a know object,
get the last "save" parameters, and write to a file something like
system, date, time, savcmd,savvol - just know this file is not updated till
after save done so latest updated record not in file if on the tape.
RTVOBJD OBJ(BNCFIL/PROF) OBJTYPE(*FILE) SAVCMD(&SAVCMD) SAVVOL(&SAVVOL)
SAVDEV(&SAVDEV) SAVF(&SAVF) SAVFLIB(&SAVFLIB) Since this a DR procedure, you
may want to immediately print for a log book, email or something so that if
disk/system crash you have most updated records of your tape volume history.

btw - we do enforce that volume id of tape equals the barcode label on the
tape (ultrium 3 cartridge) and the volume id equals the yy first init plus a
sequence - like 080020.
Does this fit what you need? I have only recently done my first BRMS setup
with a tape library, and it has been a real education. No real DR plan, need
is recognized, but not scheduled.
