Could you use the ACS routines to set the TAPE to a different retention period and leave the dasd part alone? I am sure you can use IF ((&DSN = db2_log_dsn ) & (&UNIT=TAPE) ) then MGMTCLAS= to do something like that. Do you have a storage admin person you can ask? Lizette > >>>For some re

Bruno, My understanding is if the software is using pre-emptable SRBs then the work can be moved to a zIIP engine. We have Shadow Direct and it is using zIIPs. I am not sure how much "technical" specs you are looking for on zIIP. The Vendor may not tell you all of his/her secrets in using z

Do you want to view the ACS? (ISMF) or do you want a way to see what ACS is using for your allocation? ISMF can let you view/update your ACS routines and SC, SG, etc... However, if you want to see how it is allocating the file, then I think you need to setup a test case. Lizette > > >Do

A B37-04 says you did not successfully get all the space needed for the primary allocation on the 1st volumes. Products like DTS Software, STOPX37, etc can also help prevent these types of failures. When SPACE= is coded you have 5 extents to get the primary allocation on the volume. The secon
