DFSMSdss Data Mover Interface

This interface provides CA Disk users a convenient way to backup HFS and zFS data set organizations. Data sets backed up using this interface are maintained on standard CA Disk archive volumes creating normal ARCHVOL and DSNINDEX records. CA Disk utilities, such as IXMAINT, are used as normal to manage them.

Note: DFSMSdss must be active and at a sufficient operating level (MVS/SP 5.22 with DFSMS 1.2 or above). Otherwise, CA Disk bypasses the selected data sets and issues an appropriate error message.
