After choosing the desired type, the figure below will appear, from which either the Modify or the Display option may be chosen.

Next, the category of data for default may be selected.

Default values are described in the preceding tables.

5.2.12.2 Catalog operation

To set the default values for requests for allocations of media from the available pool, select Defaults for selecting media from the Defaults menu. The form used for setting the defaults is shown below.

The following table describes the fields in the form used for setting defaults for selecting media.

Field	Description
Type	The designated default type must be chosen from the existing types.
Location	Default location of allocated media.
Density	The default density for media tapes in bpi
Length	Default reel length of media tapes.
Expiration	Default expiration date of media in combination time is set once a medium has been allocated from the pool.

5.2.13 File locations

In order to set file locations for the following:

Central database directory
Server shared data directory
Server home directory
Auxiliary command file

choose File locations from the MEDIA Settings menu.

The Central database directory is the location of the main MEDIA database.

The Server shared data directory is the location of the MEDIA SERVER shared data file. In most cases the default is satisfactory.

The Server home directory is the home directory for the server process. All temporary command files created by the server during the process of submitting jobs into a batch queue are placed in this directory.

The presence of the Auxiliary command file parameter causes all MEDIA jobs to execute this command file before and after all the device commands included in the standard prefix and postfix operations implicitly included by the creation of the MEDIA batch job.

5.3 Backup manager parameters

In order to configure BCKMGR, choose Backup manager parameters from the Configuration menu. The only configuration setting that is affected is the location of the BCKMGR database. Simply fill in the directory of the database and press Return.

Figure 5-3 BCKMGR file location

Any future references to the BCKMGR database will search this directory for the database.
