Providing Class Names During Recovery

At RESTORE, RECOVER, FMS, MOVE and COPY time, CA Disk provides a way to supply SMS class parameters to the allocation process. This is accomplished using the following parameters:

STORCLAS=

Provide a Storage Class name which is defined to SMS.

MGMTCLAS=

Provide a Management Class name which is defined to SMS.

DATACLAS=

Provide a Data Class name which is defined to SMS.

Using these parameters, an SMS-managed data set can change its class names or a nonSMS-managed data set can be made to be SMS-managed by assigning it, at least, a Storage Class name. The following command, for example, will make a non-SMS data set SMS-managed:

RESTORE DSN=your.data.set.name,
STORCLAS=stornam

The following command will change the Management Class and blank out the Data Class of an SMS-managed data set:

RESTORE DSN=your.data.set.name,
MGMTCLAS=newname,
DATACLAS='

These parameters are only valid when the system parameter SMSALLOC is specified with a value of Y. For SMS-managed data sets, the class name(s) stored in the DSNINDEX record is passed to the allocation process if the STORCLAS=, MGMTCLASS=, or DATACLAS= parameters are not specified.

A complete description of these parameters can be found in the section Parameters Honored Without the Defer Parameter in the chapter "RESTORE/RECOVER."
