Classification: Public I imagine that a vendor product like CIM or TACM could surgically zap the catalog to remove the entries.
I checked with one of our storage folks, he suggested that the catalog entry actually has MIGRAT (I've checked that on one of my own migrated datasets with LISTC), and it's actually the listing that adds the "1" or "2" depending on the device type of the catalog entry. He suggests: "As far as I can remember, the actual entry for a migrated entry is MIGRAT (as that is a 6 char VOLSER entry). It is the listing of it that adds the suffix 1 or 2 depending on the catalog device type (either disk or tape) - but - to get rid of the entries, you need to connect to the ARCCATGP RACF group. That will cause allocation to just delete it rather than drive a recall attempt." Sure enough that appears to be a valid group - whether you still need DFHSM to be active, though.. https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.arci000/endus.htm Not really my area, so I'm hoping some of this will help!

Classification: Public Information -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Rodatz, William J Sent: Friday, August 18, 2017 10:41 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: EXTERNAL: Removing Catalog Entries for Datasets That Do Not Exist Hello Everyone, Recently I discovered some datasets with "MIGRAT" as the volser. These datasets had been migrated with DFHSM many years ago. My organization is no longer running the product. I am attempting to remove the dangling catalog entries which appears to be challenging. The pubs say to use IEHPROGM with the SCRATCH function if (1) the dataset is non-SMS managed and (2) you know the dataset's volser prior to migration. I don't what the original volser was and I don't know why it matters. The catalog entry has only the dataset name and "MIGRAT" for the volser. When I execute IEHPROGM, I get messages denoting that DFHSM is not active. I am unable to move past this point. Does anyone have an idea how the catalog entries can be removed? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
