DFSMSdss Data Mover Interface

This interface provides CA Disk users a way to restore HFS data set organizations backed up by the CA Disk DFSMSdss data mover interface. Those data sets restored using this interface are maintained in the archives as normal ARCHVOL and DSNINDEX records. CA Disk utilities, such as IXMAINT, are used as normal to manage them.

Note: If you attempt to use this interface and DFSMSdss is not active or at a sufficient operating level (MVS/SP 5.22 with DFSMS 1.2 or above), CA Disk will bypass the selected data sets along with an appropriate error message.

With this interface active, CA Disk automatically switches to the DFSMSdss data mover when HFS data set types are detected. CA Disk switches back to the normal CA Disk data mover for all other data set types.
