Re: ISMF QUESTION
Esmoo, the dcollect output data can be browsed but it is fairly ugly. It also puts out different record types that you need to distinguish from for processing. You really need something like SAS or possibly SORT to reformat the data into something legible if you want an ongoing report. The dcollect would look something like this although there are multiple parameters you can choose from: //STEP03 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //OUTDSDD DSN=DISK.DATASET.DCOLLECT(+1), // UNIT=DISK, // DSORG=PS, // RECFM=VB,LRECL=932, // SPACE=(1,(5,25000),RLSE),AVGREC=K, // DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE) //BCDS DD DSN=DFHSM.BCDS,DISP=SHR //MCDS DD DSN=DFHSM.MCDS,DISP=SHR //SYSINDD * DCOLLECT - OFILE(OUTDS) - ERRORLIMIT(1000) - VOLUMES(*) I use SAS to generate a report from dcollect data that contains the dsn, creation date, lastrf date, lastbk date, expdt, volser, allocated and used space as well as SMS classes if SMS managed. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu] On Behalf Of esmie moo Sent: Wednesday, August 31, 2011 9:23 AM To: IBM-MAIN@bama.ua.edu Subject: Re: ISMF QUESTION Mike, I would like to try out your suggestion.

SMS-ISMF QUESTION
Hallo, I noticed that in ISMF the PHYSICAL STATUS (COL 22) of a volume is NONSMS. However when it do a D SMS,VOLUME(IDSPPF) it shows that the volume is in the correct STORAGE GROUP. How could I go about correcting this problem besides reinitializing the pack? I looked at the DFDSS doc and it has the CONVERTV SMS example: CONVERTV - SMS - DYNAM(D9S060) Would this be an appropriate solution?

Kees, When the days since last use meet or exceed the primary days non usage value (default or otherwise) the dataset becomes eligible for migrating from primary to ML1. There are attributes on the storage group which can prevent any migration on the volume (Auto Migrate = N) or space utilization on the volume is below the low threshold or you could have hsm processing limited to a certain system/group (Migrate Sys/Sys Group Name) which is not active or takes too long to get around to the volume where the eligible dataset resides. I think the documentation is worded that way because it is not guaranteed that an aged dataset will migrate to ML1 or ML2 as soon as the number of days criteria is met. Regards, John p.s.

Re: ISMF Question
Kees, If you play around with this you could discover that a blank entry can only be used in a very specific configuration. And I always do recommend anyone with a question first start by playing with a construct (not the production ones of course) and see what it does. For example if you have COMMAND or BOTH specified for the Command or Auto Migrate field, then you cannot use blank for Primary Days Non-usage or Level 1 Days Non-usage Same would be true if you specified Admin or User command Backup Auto Backup . . . . . . . . . And then tried to use blank in the proceeding fields. I think it would have been helpful if IBM had documented that in the Help Panels, rather than a user needing to try to use blank and then get an error message. I always did believe in more robust documentation in the help panels for ISMF but IBM has not quite gotten around to that yet. Conclusion, the blank entry is used in a very specific construct, one that has very little control over it. You are not specifying any details to ISMF. So it does nothing. There are no actions to take for a data set with that type of construct for the management class. So, no migrate, no automigrate, no backup, no gdg backups kept, etc. This may allow the STORCLAS to control the file but the MGMTCLAS will not do anything, from what I can remember. Perhaps someone else will have a better explanation. Lizette Hello list, I have an (awfully) basic question about ISMF: when defining SMS constructs (e.g. mgntclas) I can enter numbers of a blank.

Re: ISMF Question
Kees, This is probably not what you need, but I just created a mgmtclass, and went back in to list it, and saw all the values that it selected on my behalf.

I cannot find anywhere what the meaning of the blank value is. Where can I find what the system does, when I leave blank fields like: Primary Days Non-usage . . . . (0 to or blank) Level 1 Days Non-usage . . . . (0 to , NOLIMIT or blank) Backup Frequency . . . . . . . . (0 to or blank) Number of Backup Vers . . . . . .(1 to 100 or blank) Number of Backup Vers . . . . . .(0 to 100 or blank) (Data Set Deleted) Retain days only Backup Ver . . . (1 to , NOLIMIT or blank) (Data Set Deleted) Retain days extra Backup Vers . . (1 to , NOLIMIT or blank) And many more.
