+SVRTAPE

The +SVRTAPE parameter specifies the number of tape servers to start for server processing.

+SVRTAPE is set by the configuration job, usually UBMCCNTL(NGT$GLBL). You can override this parameter in individual utility jobs with the UTLPARMS DD. You can specify this parameter value dynamically at utility runtime using the XSUTGLOB-global-variable-definition-automation-control-point. 

Important

You must start at least one tape server for tape jobs. If you specify +SVRTAPE(0), any image copies produced go to disk (DASD).
