DASD-to-Tape Candidates (STGERA)


Source:    VCADAA file at the DETAIL timespan

Function:  Identifies data sets that are not stored on the
           most efficient storage media based on their usage
           patterns.  For example, large DASD data sets that
           are used infrequently might be more cost effective
           if stored on tape.

           Additionally, this report allows the user to
           specify size and usage criteria, plus the amount
           of data to be moved.  The output will indicate
           those data sets that may be candidates for
           movement to tape.

Features:  Users can limit the number of data sets appearing
           on the report, either in terms of the megabytes
           represented or the number of data sets.

           Users can also create a file containing the names
           of all candidate data sets selected.  This file
           can be modified by the user to create JCL and
           control statements to move the data sets.

SMS
Users:     As part of SMS implementation planning, many users
           are identifying data sets that should be moved to
           a more efficient location, based on the size and
           usage pattern of the data set.  This report will
           help perform that analysis.  The name file that
           can be produced could be used to build JCL to move
           the data set.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Data Set Name
           Data sets appear on this report based on their
           recommendation values, with the best candidates
           for media movement appearing first.  The
           recommendation value is calculated as the size of
           the data set, multiplied by the time since the
           data set was last used.  The best candidates for
           DASD-to-Tape movement are those data sets that are
           large in size and referenced infrequently.  The
           number of data sets that will appear on the report
           is controlled by values entered on the report
           options screen.

    Data Set Size In Megabytes
           The amount of space allocated by this data set,
           expressed in millions of bytes (megabytes).

    SYSID
           The translated system identification that was
           derived from ORGSYSID by the CA MICS SYSID
           Translation process.

    Volume Serial Number
           The volume serial number of the storage medium.

    Device Type
           This value indicates the type of I/O device.

    Days Since Used
           The number of days since the data set has been
           used.  This is calculated by subtracting the date
           of last use from the date the data was collected.

    Date Last Used
           The date that the data set was last referenced.

    Date Created
           The date that the data set was first allocated to
           a DASD volume.

    Date Expires
           The date when a data set can be deleted or
           overwritten by another data set.

    Block Size
           The maximum length of a physical block written
           into this data set.

    Record Length
           The maximum length of each logical record in this
           data set.
