Re: Finding uncatalogued datasets

[Sebastian Welton]

I'm just wondering if NaviQuest might help here:

DFSMS NaviQuest is a data and storage management tool for implementing, 
testing, and verifying the SMS environment. NaviQuest is installed under the 
Interactive Storage Management Facility (ISMF) Primary Option Menu and uses the 
standard Interactive System Productivity Facility (ISPF) panel interface.

I use it for extracting lists of volumes and the information about them which I 
feed into other programs, but it is also possible to get dataset reports. There 
are numerous samples for ISPF or batch described here:

Re: [EXTERNAL] HSM Recycle command

[Pommier, Rex]

Yes, it would then (if you change the DISPLAY to EXECUTE :-) ) migrate any 
still-valid datasets off tapes at 5% or lower utilization to different tapes, 
thus emptying the targeted tape and then scratch/recycle them.

Yes with percentage 0 it means to delete the empty tapes (virtual in my
case)

So to execute (delete) with percentage 5 is fine I believe?

Re: [EXTERNAL] HSM Recycle command

[Pommier, Rex]

Hi Peter,

Does this command even do anything?  I'm not an HSM guru but PERCENTVALID(0) 
says only process if the tape is empty.  Doesn't HSM automatically recycle 
empty tapes?  If you want to recycle tapes that are getting close to empty you 
need to increase the 0.  I would try running it with 5 or 10 with the DISPLAY 
on to see what quantity of tapes will get recycled if you actually execute it.  

You have DISPLAY - which I believe tells HSM to only report eligible tapes, but 
not do anything with them.  I believe you would need to change that to EXECUTE 
to have HSM actually do anything with the tapes.

We have our HSM recycling tapes at 30%.  This is a holdover from when we had a 
physical library with a limited number of tapes in it.  We could probably lower 
that number since our VTS is using virtual 3490s instead of high capacity 
TS11xx tapes so burning a few virtual tapes to lower the churn would probably 
be OK.

Hi David,
Sorry, I don't know the MLC for DITTO. However, in case you and others are not

If you do,  any issues, compatibility?

For the 5990, do you have 3490x or 3590 type tapes defined?

Re: Finding uncatalogued datasets

[Wendell Lovewell]

Hi Jack. 

I'm going thru a similar process, although with a much smaller number of 
volumes.  ADRDSSU also allows you to specify STORGRP instead of the volser:

  DUMP OUTDD(BUFILE) STORGRP(MACS)-
   DATASET(INCLUDE(**,-
   USERCAT.MACK01 -
   )  -
   EXCLUDE(SYS1.V*.**)-
   BY(DSCHA,EQ,YES)   -
   ) -
   OPTIMIZE(4) SHARE TOL(IOER,ENQF) COMPRESS

With TYPRUN=NORUN, or with my "BUFILE" set to DD DUMMY, an error will be 
generated and RC set to 8 for each dataset that is not cataloged.  Some of the 
parms are only of use when I do actually do the DUMP.   

This will run a long time though, so with 8000 volumes you might want something 
less resource instead.

Re: Finding uncatalogued datasets

[Lionel B. Dyck]

Since you have the VTOC command - use that instead of IEHLIST 😊

It will still run for a long time depending on the number of volumes and number 
of datasets.

Re: Finding uncatalogued datasets

[Lionel B. Dyck]

A possible RYO would be to write a rexx exec to:

1. issue operator command using sdsf rexx d u,dasd,online,,
2. parse the results for each volser
3. invoke iehlist - listvtoc for each and capture the results
4. issue listdsi for each dataset
  - if not cataloged then you have them
  - if the sysvolume is not the same as the iehlist volser then you have a 
mismatch

This will take awhile so run it in batch.

Hi Jack,
What will happen (with your proposed solution) if you have Dataset A.B 
Cataloged to ABC123 and also present on ABC124, or, Dataset ABC 
Cataloged to ABC123, but, present only on ABC124?
I do not want to sound like a broken record, but,. the VTOC Command 
Processor (CBT File 112) can deal with both of these situations.

I have the DCOLLECT output with all the formatted data records or the file

I also have a file that is a result of a SORT over a  LISTCAT of all the

Now, can I use DFSORT with those two files as input to create a file with

What you need is something that can dig out all the DSCBs from

every

of every online DASD device and sum these into a Data Set list.
I happen to have an Assembler program which does just that, if

you'd

or

SYS1.AMODGEN) it's very easy to Assemble and run it yourself.
Use a Catalog Search to find uncataloged data sets is of course

useless

for obvious reasons.
My program outputs a record for each DSCB. These are then summed to

create

a report listing every Data Set on every online DASD device.
The report gives VOLSER, DSORG, RECFM, LRECL, BLKSIZE, # of Tracks,

%

Used, # of Extents, Create Date and Date Last Referenced.
It rivals DCOLLECT in what it can do but requires no special
Authorization.
A recent enhancement to calculate space utilization for PDSEs

slowed

it

down quite a bit, but otherwise it's *very* fast.
The report is also handy for contractors who want to quickly learn

the

"filescape" of any new site to which they're assigned.
Next enhancement I have in mind is to calculate total *available*

DASD

space, which *could* be very easy (or not). Just haven't gotten

around

figuring it out yet.
Let me know if you'd like a copy of the source I have so far, and

JCL

to

So far, it's worked everywhere it's been tried.
If there are any cases where it *doesn't* work, that would be nice

How does it deal with user catalogs? If FOO is a catalog alias in one master 
catalog but not in another, could FOO.** datasets be incorrectly treated as

Thank you for the suggestion
The why I am going through DCOLLECT records at this point it is precisely 
because of the wasted space due to datasets that have not been used for over a 
year (at least). It was going through this records that I became aware of the 
existence of uncatalogued datasets. That is why I am trying to come up with a 
process that can find them, so I can dispose of them. And I want it to be as 
simple and standard as possible.
Regards
Jack

Re: Finding uncatalogued datasets

[Jack Zukt]

Hi all,
Thank you all for all of your suggestions so far.
After one weekend with everything working in the background I came up with
an idea for a new approach.
I have the DCOLLECT output with all the formatted data records or the file
treated by DFSORT with only the dataset names and a few extra tidbits. Now
I also have a file that is a result of a SORT over a  LISTCAT of all the
user catalogs on the system, with all (and only) the cataloged dataset
names.
Now, can I use DFSORT with those two files as input to create a file with
only the dataset names that exist on the DCOLLECT file but do not exist on
the LISTCAT output?
Regards,
Jack

Re: Finding uncatalogued datasets

[Jack Zukt]

Hi,
Thank you for your input. Using DFDSS like that would be an option.
However, there are over eight thousand volumes in this system and that
would be a lot of JOBs. I thought about submitting one JOB for each Storage
Group but that would mean too many DD for most of the JOBs.

Jack

Re: OS DITTO MLC Cost

[Peter Van Dyke]

Hi David,
Sorry, I don't know the MLC for DITTO. However, in case you and others are
not aware, IBM File Manager was developed on top of DITTO and includes most
of the functions provided by DITTO. So if you have File Manager you may not
need to continue paying for DITTO.
