5.9.4 Transfer Tape Files to the Target Unit

************************************************************
* Note: Ensure that the "Remove a Component From a Unit"   *
*       checklist, section 5.12, has been completed.       *
************************************************************

Determine if HISTW or HISTM has been specified in the
prefix.MICS.PARMS(JCLDEF) member.  Complete this checklist
only if YES is specified for audit, weekly, or monthly
archiving in the JCLDEF member of target_prefix.MICS.PARMS;
otherwise, move to the checklist in section 5.9.6, Finalize
the Process.  Whatever you have defined for HISTW and HISTM
will be replicated in the target_unit (unless you change them
before completing the checklist).

The original_tapeprefix data sets for the product cannot be
changed by simply renaming the catalogued data sets; the
internal tape label will still carry the original_tapeprefix
name.  Therefore, you must modify your CA MICS operational
JCL in order to copy the original_tapeprefix tape files to
target_prefix tape files.

NOTE: The timing of this process is CRITICAL.

If the WEEKLY or MONTHLY job will run in the original_unit
AFTER the jobs in the target_unit, point to the current (0)
GDG level.

If the jobs in the original_unit will run BEFORE the jobs in
the target_unit, change the GDG level to (-1) in the WEEKLYX
and MONTHLYX jobs, since the  current level of the history
files in the original_unit will no longer contain data for
the product that you have moved.

__  1. If weekly history archive is active in the
       target_unit:

       __ Create target_prefix.MICS.CNTL(WEEKLYX). Copy in
          the JCL of the target_prefix.MICS.CNTL(WEEKLY)
          member.

       __ Modify the DD statements in the WEEKLYX member that
          begin with "//HIiiifff" in the WEEK300 step, where
          iii is the information area and fff is the file
          name.  Change the DSN parameter to the
          original_tapeprefix.HISTW.iiifff(n) name for each
          of the product's files, where n is GDG level -1 or
          zero.

          NOTE:  Change only the DD statements that are
                 associated with the product that you are
                 moving.

          WEEKLYX should be used for only the FIRST execution
          of the weekly job in the target_unit.

          NOTE: Execution of this job after the first week
                will result in a loss of data!

          Make sure that the normal WEEKLY job is executed in
          subsequent weeks.

__  2. If monthly history archive is active in the target
       unit:

       __ Create target_prefix.MICS.CNTL(MONTHLYX). Copy in
          the JCL of the target_prefix.MICS.CNTL(MONTHLY)
          member.

       __ Modify the DD statements in the MONTHLYX member
          that begin with "//HIiiifff" in the MONTH300 step,
          where iii is the information area and fff is the
          file name.  Change the DSN parameter to the
          original_tapeprefix.HISTM.iiifff(n) name for each
          of the product's files, where n is GDG level -1 or
          zero.

          NOTE:  Change only the DD statements that are
                 associated with the product that you are
                 moving.

          MONTHLYX should be used for only the FIRST
          execution of the monthly job in the target_unit.

          NOTE: Execution of this job after the first month
                will result in a loss of data!

          Make sure that the normal MONTHLY job is executed
          in subsequent months.

__  3. If audit archiving is performed for the product:

       __ Consider copying the weekly audit tapes, named
          original_tapeprefix.MICS.AUDIT.iiifff(n), to the
          target unit, where n is GDG level -1 or zero.

       NOTE:  No retrofit logic is required in order to copy
              the tapes.

       __ If you choose NOT to copy these files, inform your
          users that the audit archive files for the product
          that were created prior to the transfer will remain
          under the original_tapeprefix name.

       Complete the "Finalize the Process" checklist in
       Section 5.9.5.
