VSAMAID | NOVSAMAID

The VSAMAID parameter allows easy implementation of CA VSAMAID recommendations. When you specify this parameter, CA FAVER uses the CA VSAMAID history file and recommendations instead of the EXPORT tape definition to redefine a cluster.

The NOVSAMAID parameter instructs CA FAVER to ignore any recommendations that CA VSAMAID might provide. NOVSAMAID is the default when CA FAVER is initially installed, but VSAMAID can be set as the default with the GVPARMS utility.

Note: For more information, see the chapter "Changing EXPORT/RESTORE System Defaults."

A TRENDS DD statement must be added to the JCL when VSAMAID is in effect.

Note: For more information about the TRENDS DD statement, see the CA VSAMAID VSAM Tools User Guide.
