Thanks Allan,
I have never had to use the SAVESCDS command. We use a backup procedure
that has been in place for a long time
But from the manual
SAVEACDS(dsname)
Specifies the ACDS that SMS is to use to save to DASD the active
configurat1ion from the SMS address space. SAVEACDS is one way to create a
backup ACDS. Do not specify SAVEACDS in the same command as ACDS, SCDS, or
SAVESCDS.
SAVESCDS(dsname)
Specifies the SCDS that SMS is to use to save to DASD the active
configuration from the SMS address space. SAVESCDS is one way to create a

SAVEACDS.
So unless the OP is familiar with this process, this new system is probably
a good way to work on a recovery procedure until it goes Live.
This has been very educational, I will be looking at "improving" our DR
procedures.

Yes.
On the "original" LPAR SETSMS SAVESCDS(some name) On the "new" LPAR SETSMS
SCDS(some name)
Obviously "some name" must be available (via export/import, shared dasd,...)
to both the source and target LPARS.
BTW, it would be a good practice for "some name" to be unique for both
source and target.
Saves many "oh no" seconds.*
*oh no second. The second between hitting the enter key and realizing your
error.

Okay, I am going to retract what I have said so far. I think I am seeing
the OP question.
The functions in ISMF were manually entered via the panels for Storage
Class, Data Class, and Management class.
The Source PDS is strictly for the ACS routines that assign those
definitions as needed.
Currently - I do not know of a way to "EXPORT" the Classes that were
manually defined with the Panels and put them in a "PDS/FILE" to be able to
"IMPORT" them to another system SCDS dataset.
The only process I am familiar with is to DUMP/RESTORE the SCDS you like and
then activate it on the new LPAR.
I am not sure if you could use IDCAMs to EXPORT the current SCDS and then
IMPORT that file into a new SCDS dataset.
