5.67 SCPIMPLY (Pass non-Hercules commands to the SCP)

5.67.1 Function

SCPIMPLY allows it to pass all non-Hercules commands (commands unknown to Hercules) to the SPC if
the SCP has enabled receipt of SCP commands. The default is off (no passing of unknown commands) if
SCPIMPLY is not coded.

An example: The command "ping" is an unknown Hercules command. If the SCP running is SLES z/Linux
then the ping would be sent as console input to SLES just as if the command has been prefixed with a '.'
(period).

5.67.3 Parameter

OFF

Do not pass non-Hercules commands to the SCP. This is the default, if SCPIMPLY
is not coded in the configuration file.

ON

Pass all non-Hercules commands to the SCP if the SCP has enabled receipt of
SCP commands.

Pass non-Hercules commands to the SCP.

5.68 SCSIMOUNT (Automatic SCSI tape mounts)

5.68.1 Function

The SCSIMOUNT parameter specifies whether automatic detection of SCSI tape mounts is enabled or
not.

NOTE! Enabling this option may negatively impact Hercules performance depending on how the host
operating system (Windows, Linux etc.) handles SCSI attached tape drive status queries.

5.68.3 Parameter

NO

NO indicates that the SCSIMOUNT option is disabled, forcing all SCSI tape mounts
to be done manually via an appropriate DEVINIT command.

YES

Yes enables the option and causes periodic queries of the SCSI tape drive in a five
second interval to automatically detect when a tape is mounted. YES is equivalent
with “SCSIMOUNT 5”.

secs

A value from 1 to 99 seconds (inclusive) enables this option and causes periodic
queries of the SCSI tape drive to automatically detect if a tape is mounted.

5.68.4 Examples

Example 1:

Enable automatic detection of SCSI tape mounts and set the periodic queries of the SCSI tape drive to a
30 seconds interval.
