You will need to check which management class manages this dataset. Then, while in ISMF, all the attributes of the MANAGEMENT class is displayed.It has been a few years since I worked with HSM. Maybe someone else could correct any of my erroneous statements if I made any.Good LuckWillie.

Some of these files are files that are open to CICS. I find that HSM backs them up on some days but not on other days. Is there a specific cause of this behavior? The file (one particular one, but there are others) is open to CICS and being updated constantly throughout the day.
