With regard to immediate deletion of uncataloged datasets, is this shop running Stop X37? If yes have them check the uncatlg2 setting. I once worked in a shop where it caused many uncatalogued datasets on SMS managed vols.
You might also advise having a few Quinew'd volumes in his active pools to allow for the occasional user who tends toward large primary allocations whether or not it is needed. Every shop seems to have one. Thank You, Dave O'Brien ________________________________ From: Elardus Engelbrecht [elardus.engelbre...@sita.co.za] Sent: Tuesday, July 03, 2012 10:31 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Converting to SMS for the first time >>If anyone has suggestions on best practices for a conversion – please let me >>know. Two more (and last) hints: Keep RACF DB and perhaps other certain datasets (DSORG=U for example) away from SMS. Have a hard and fast and absolute unpopular rule: "Anything uncataloged means immediate deletion because of duplication issues." Of course YMMV because YOU do the deletion action(s) in one or other [manual] way.
