Re: BRMS insists media not available but reports show it is available.

Ordinarily that's the result of the tape locations on the tapes. Look to see the actual inventory on the tape library with WRKMLBSTS (option 8) Then make sure the only tapes in the tape library location (WRMEDBRM) are the ones physically in the library.

Don't believe the report for this circumstance. It's also looking at media class.

I printed the media balancing report below. It's telling the truth as
confirmed by viewing media in BRMS itself. Yet BRMS on MYSYS is in MSGW
insisting:

Devices TAPMLB01 in the device list for control group
type cannot be allocated because they are being used by other jobs or
other
systems.

They are not being used by other jobs or other systems right now.

Any tips?
