DFSMS and Reports

Selection and reporting upon SMS constructs and their attributes is supported in the batch and online reporting features of CA Disk. Use the reports to audit the implementation to ensure compliance by all parties of the storage administration policies put into place.

An example of how to use the reports for auditing purposes is as follows:

FIND DSNAME=VSAM.KSDS./
SELECT CRI=(DCNAME,NE,<VSKSDS>,AND,DCRECORG,EQ,KSDS)
REPORT MVD

The previous creates an MVD report on all VSAM KSDS clusters whose names begin with "VSAM.KSDS." and do not have a Data Class name equal to "VSKSDS". This field is supported for both SMS and non-SMS controlled data sets and thus both will be selected. Reviewing this report shows up any clusters violating this Data Class policy.

The SMS constructs and attributes can be included in online ISPF reports. See ISPF Custom Reports in the Systems Guide for more information about adding these report fields.
