SYSPARMS

To restore PSE data sets, sysparm SMSALLOC should be set to a value of Y, or the DSNAME must be eligible for PSE allocation.

PS/PSE Conversions

Data set conversions can be accomplished by preallocating the target data set prior to the CA Disk action being performed.

To restore an Archived PSE to a PS, the target PS must be either pre‑allocated or its DFSMS DC must be changed. Specifically, the data set NAME TYPE field must be changed to NON-EXTENTED.

Note: Later phase will allow conversion of an Archived PS to PSE.
