Requests for data set archival can be deferred over a period of time until a batch DISPOSE run can be performed to process all requests deferred since the previous batch run. Use of this facility is desirable, in that a single archive tape mount is required instead of individual mounts for each data set.
A deferred request is made by using the DARCHIVE command name, instead of ARCHIVE, or by adding the DEFER parameter to the ARCHIVE command.
Deferred archive requests are queued and kept in the ARCHCMDS subfile of the CA Disk FILES. After a queued request has been processed, its completion status is maintained for a default period of five days, after which time it is deleted automatically during the next DISPOSE run. Through the ISPF panels, the saved status can also be displayed online. Otherwise, the output from the DISPOSE run must be inspected to determine the outcome of processing for the request. Sysparm DARCKEEP can be used to alter the default period for which the status is maintained in the ARCHCMDS file.
