Re: ADRDSSU logical dump of VSAM restore

2011-10-13 Thread McKown, John
Still on z/OS 1.10. 1.12 is in the works, but due to a problem caused by lack 
of a maintenance contract, we need to be off of a vendor product before we can 
convert.

Somewhat on topic to this is an interesting discovery I made. If you do a 
logical dump of a multivolume VSAM KSDS using ADRDSSU, and then do a RESTORE 
from this with an OUTDYNAM((onevol)), ADRDSSU puts out an ADR390I message about 
UNMATCHED SIZE and attempt to reallocate the dataset with a new SPACE parameter 
equal to the sum of the size of all the extents. In our case, this was 7400 
cylinders. Which cannot fit on a single 3390-3 volume. So we get some SMS 
messages about space contraint release being invoked. The LISTCAT on the KSDS 
now shows a primary space of 7400 cylinders instead of the original value. But 
all seems well. AT THIS TIME. However, if you then do another logical dump of 
this KSDS, the restore of that second dump __fails__ with an allocation error 
about not having any volume with sufficient free space (well, duh! No 3390-3 
will ever have 7400 cylinders of free space). In this second case, space 
constraint release is not invoked. Most weird. If you prealloca!
 te the output file with the original SPACE parameters and remove the OUTDYNAM, 
then the RESTORE works correctly and, even better, does not change the space 
allocation parameters.

Reorganized if you restore a logical dump with VALIDATE. VALIDATE is the 
default.

http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/cgi-bin/bookmgr_OS390/BOOKS/DGT2U290/2.3.10.5.49?SHELF=dgt2bka0DT=20100623212334CASE=

3. When a data set is restored, the free space in the control areas and 
control intervals are reset to the values in the catalog entry. You can 
override the values in the catalog entry by specifying the FREESPACE keyword on 
the restore.
