Recently, I found a flaw in the way  vmacct tracks vmtape mounts. When I do a
tape mount interactively via vmtape, the charge is recorded appropriately and
shows  up in  the  vmacct query  usage  report and  in  the vmjorvw  overhead
report. When  I mount a  tape via vmtape through  a vmscheduled job  the tape
mount charge  is not recorded and  it does not show  up in the reports.  I am
not a systems person, but I am responsible for preparing reports on IBM usage
for one  of Temple's vice presidents  who is a perfectionist.  I have learned
to  be very  careful in  reports I  give  to him.  As such,  I reported  this
problem  to our  systems analyst.  After  spending four  hours attempting  to
recreate this  problem, he found nothing  wrong. I then showed  him in person
what  I am  talking about  and  still, he  denies  that there  is a  problem.

Since very few people  use vmschedule on our system, I am  ready to drop this
subject  on an  official basis.  I am,  however, curious  if anyone  else has
noticed this  problem. If  so, how  did you  fix it?  Is there  a bug  in the
software or  is there a  flaw in the way  our Vmcenter files  are configured?

Thanks
