Hi folks I've got a situation with HSM that I can't understand..
Some datasets that were apparently quite normally expired by Secondary Space Management this morning (with return and reason code 0) don't seem to have actually been scratched. However others, in the same and other management classes, have been.. Anyone have any idea why this might be? They're all GDGs, however, so are the ones that DID get scratched. For example (names changed, of course) ARC0734I ACTION=EXPIRED FRVOL=ML1001 TOVOL=****** TRACKS= 1722 RC= 0, REASON= 0, AGE= 115, DSN=MY.GDG.G0001V00 All looks ok.. But it's still cataloged and resident on the ML1 volume, thus: NONVSAM ------- MY.GDG.G0001V00 IN-CAT --- ICFCAT.CATALOG HISTORY DATASET-OWNER-----(NULL) CREATION--------2008.131 RELEASE----------------2 EXPIRATION------0000.000 ACCOUNT-INFO-----------------------------------(NULL) STATUS------------ACTIVE SMSDATA STORAGECLASS ------SCLASS MANAGEMENTCLASS----MCLASS DATACLASS ----------BASE LBACKUP ---XXXX.XXX.XXXX VOLUMES VOLSER------------MIGRAT DEVTYPE------X'3010200F' FSEQN--------- ---------0 ASSOCIATIONS GDG------MY.GDG ATTRIBUTES The Management class definition is as follows: MGMTCLAS EXPIRE EXPIRE RET PARTIAL PRIMARY LEVEL 1 CMD/AUTO # GDG ON ROLLED-OFF BACKUP NAME NON-USAGE DATE/DAYS LIMIT RELEASE DAYS DAYS MIGRATE PRIMARY GDS ACTION FREQUENCY --(2)--- ---(3)--- ---(4)---- --(5)-- ----(6)---- ---(7)-- --(8)-- --(9)--- --(10)-- ---(11)--- --(12)--- MCLASS 30 NOLIMIT 0 YES 0 NOLIMIT BOTH --- EXPIRE 0 This is a hot potato as we're just about to be audited on data retention policies, where we need to demonstrate that we're not keeping data any longer than a period pre-defined as 'than necessary'. (Sorry if the above doesn't format correctly in the email - might have to cut and paste out into an editor in order to view properly) Cheers Brian ----------------------------------------- Email sent from www.virginmedia.com/email Virus-checked using McAfee(R) Software and scanned for spam ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
