1226.0. "Subsequent action on abort" by ROM01::FRISINA () Mon Mar 10 1997 08:25

    
    My customer uses POLYCENTER Scheduler V2.1 to execute his backups on a
    TL820 (through SLS V2.7).
    
    When he issues the command SCHEDULER ABORT 'job', obviously the process
    dies, and so does SLS backup - but the tape is not physically unloaded
    from the drive which was using it. If not manually handled - using the
    option provided with SLS Operator Menu - next backup trying to allocate 
    that drive will abort with an access violation.
    
    It seems to me there is no possibility of handling the unload of the
    tape through a post function (if status is failed Scheduler won't
    execute it)... Is there any trick to make SLS handle the operation with
    some logicals or symbols, so that when I abort a job it will take note
    of the failure and subsequently dismount the tape?
    
    Thanks for help,
