Step 9 Check that after switching over the components the system reports that it is ready. If the robots do not report that they are ready, there is another or a further error in the system.

Step 10 Determine which commands have not yet been acknowledged by the AMS software:

HACC/MVS command “DRQ all”

Search through the log file of the host software for com- mands to the AMU without acknowledgement

Step 11 Determine where the media belonging to the outstanding com- mands are located:

by entering the archive and inspecting the drives and home positions in the archive

by the "Stocktaking" command on the home compartments of the media concerned (refer to the description of your host software for the syntax of this command)

Step 12 Compare these positions with the data in the database of the

AMU

Step 13 In the case of discrepancies change the AMU database and in HACC/MVS systems in addition the HACC/MVS database

Step 14 Start the communication to the system

by the HACC/MVS Release command

by “Setting online” the drives

Step 15 Repeat the commands which are still outstanding and still required. Delete the commands which are no longer required from the command queue.
