Mike, I took your advice and set the MANAGEMENT CLASS AUTO BACKUP=Y. As a test I created a new dsn using the same HLQ's and Management Class. I tried the MIGRATE command via batch (using wild cards) it went to ML1 instead of ML2 which was NOT happening before I changed the AUTO BACKUP from N to Y. I did a LISTCAT of the dsn but it shows that no backup was done. Inspite of this the dsn was sent to ML1. Not sure why LBACKUP ---0000.000.0000 If I understand Joel's post correctly in which he says that "Migration Attributes for primary and level 1 only apply to auto migration" then the dsn should not have been sent to ML1 but directly to ML2. Any suggestions?
