3.6.2 Resolve Administrative Items

There are several administrative items that should be
resolved to ensure a smooth transition into production
operation.

DASD Space Management Systems

If a DASD space management system is installed, data sets
might be deleted automatically if the data sets are not
defined to a master file table.  Please ensure that all of
the CA MICS complex and unit data sets and the work data sets
used in each of the daily jobs are added to this master file
table.  This prevents the DASD space management system from
deleting CA MICS data sets.

Tape Management Systems

If a tape management system is installed, data sets might be
automatically scratched if they are not properly defined
(e.g., GDG tape data sets and TMS).  Please ensure that all
of the CA MICS tape files (backups and archives) have been
properly defined to the tape management system.

System Backup

Ensure that backups of the CA MICS libraries are taken and
are updated when system modifications are applied.  It is
prudent to have a duplicate copy of the CA MICS system stored
offsite as a backup.
