A few things. Last I knew, HMIGRATE didn't have access to ML2, only MIGRATE. When the dataset is on primary DASD, the back=up date is kept in the "catalog" data (probably the VVDS) and therefore reportable by "catalog" functions (IDCAMS LISTCAT). Once migrated, the backup date reported by HLIST is from the DFHSM BCDS record.
And I think you are correct, a DS on ML1 can still be backed up, so manual migration to ML1 is ok. > -----Original Message----- > From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:ibm-m...@bama.ua.edu] On > Behalf Of willie bunter > Sent: Wednesday, November 24, 2010 8:45 AM > To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu > Subject: Re: DFHSM MIGRATE MYSTERY > > Joel, > > I did a manual BACKDS command of the dsn.
