Explicit ARCHIVE MODESET Command Parameters

The following is a description of the commands and parameters used to invoke the explicit archive function.

The MODESET command has been provided to allow explicit archival to be run in a simulated mode and to provide the option of turning off Storage Administration FACILITY Class checking. If used, it must be the first command in the SYSIN input stream and will apply to all the following DARCHIVE or ARCHIVE commands.

The MODSET command syntax is:

MODESET SIMULATE, NOADMIN

Inclusion of the SIMULATE parameter will allow all explicit archive functions to be tested except for actual data set disposition and copy. The effect of the archive processing will be reflected in the CA Disk report, which is automatically generated.

Inclusion of the NOADMIN parameter will prevent all explicit archive functions from making use of the Storage Administration FACILITY Class Profiles. All functions performed in this step will only make use of the standard security access for the user submitting the job.

No tape allocation is required in the simulate mode.
