IIRC DFSMShsm backups its CDS and Journal files to pre-defined sequential datasets. Is it safe to assume that these datasets are available to DFSMShsm at your shop??? What do you mean by 'bypasses the CDS backups' are you seeing any error messages?

Is there a way to disable this process? I ask because when our daily autobackups start it bypasses the CDS backups and goes immediately on to the volume backups. We would like the CDS/Journal backups to run "as advertised" with the daily autobackups but can't figure out why this is not happening. Unfortunately, the person who set up most of our HSM environment is no longer employed here, so we're trying to piece together how things were done. Any assistance with this quandry would be greatly appreciated. My second question is what is the preferred methodology for doing a reorg of a CDS file? Is there any advantage or disadvantage to doing it with IDCAMS export then import (using the erase parm) versus doing an IDCAMS repro backup then delete/define and reload the file?
