Upload
When you initiate an upload, the tape drive in BS2000 should not be attached, i.e. if
necessary a DETACH command should be issued first.
A download enables EMFILEs to be stored in a different place and an upload enables them
to be read in again later. This also permits files to be exchanged with other systems. The
names of files to be downloaded must comply with the conventions for EMFILE names.
Existing files of the same name are overwritten when files are uploaded.
Ê Click the Upload icon by the required tape device, select the file in the dialog box, and
click Upload.
Remove
When you delete data, the tape drive in BS2000 should not be attached, i.e. if necessary a
DETACH command should be issued first.
Ê Click the Remove icon by the required tape device and confirm the action.
In the case of an emulated tape device you can select in the dialog box whether you
want to remove the device and/or whether you want to delete the EMFILE. If you only
remove the device, the data is subsequently displayed with the device type DATA.
