I'm in the process of moving a z/OS 1.6 environment to a z/OS 1.8 enviornment. Due to configuration issues (long story, but ie, I don't have tape drives on the source system) I cannot simply dump volumes to tape and move them. In the end, not really a problem- I'm moving datasets by dumping them with DFDSS to a data set, FTPing the data set to the new system, and restoring. Not the fasted way to go, but it's working.
But now, my major concern is moving all our HSM migrated data sets- both those on ML1 DASD, and those on ML2 tape. Now the ML2 tapes are going to be physical sent where the new enviornment is so data can be recalled off of them. The issue/question I have is: how can I move the catalog entries for all the migrated data sets? The entries will be scatttered across several user catalogs, which won't actually be moved. (Although I guess I could move/copy them if needed.) Now I did notice in some previous posts (although a few years old) that ABARS could possibly do this for me. The post mentioned that it would backup/restore migrated data sets without actually recalling/remigrating them. Is that true? If so, that would work for me. Thanks in advance for any responses.
