Space Management Function Simulation / Detail (STGEJB)

Function:  Provides a detailed account of the effect of
           certain space management actions on individual
           data sets and volumes.

           Many automated storage management software
           products, such as DFHSM, allow users to delete or
           migrate older data sets, and to release unused
           space from data sets that have been allocated
           incorrectly.  This report allows users to simulate
           these actions and then tune these threshold values
           so that the desired result will be achieved.

           Any combination of these different actions can be
           simulated--automatic deletion, automatic
           migration, and automatic release of over-allocated
           space.

Features:  Users installing automated storage management
           products can choose thresholds that allow them to
           start using their new software sooner, without
           having an adverse effect on data availability.

           Users already using automated products can use the
           charts to set new thresholds, or to ensure that
           their existing thresholds are effective.

           As a user option, VSAM files can be included in
           the analysis.

           This detailed report would probably be run after
           approximate thresholds were defined, to double
           check the effect of those values on a data set by
           data set basis.

Issues:    This report can be used to simulate most of the
           actions that are provided through the SMS
           management class.  This simulation will ensure the
           values you specify in your management class
           definition will achieve the desired result.  After
           implementation, the report can be used to monitor
           the effect of proposed changes to the management
           class definition, before actually making the
           change.

COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS

    Data Set Name
           The name of the data set.

    Action Taken
           The simulated action that would have been taken
           against this data set.  This indicates if the data
           set would have been MIGRATED, DELETED, or had
           excess space RELEASED.

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

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

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

 Days Since Create
           The number of days between the date the data set
           was created and the date the data was collected.

    Days Since Used
           The number of days between the date the data set
           was last used and the date the data was collected.

    Trks Freed
           The number of tracks formerly occupied by this
           data set that would have been freed by the
           simulation actions.  For migrated or deletion data
           sets, this will be the same value as tracks
           allocated, but for released data sets it will
           indicate the number of tracks that would have been
           released.

    Trks Alloc
           The number of tracks allocated to this data set on
           the current volume.

    Trks Used
           The number of tracks actually in use by this data
           set on the current volume.

    Space Alloc (KB)
           The amount of space allocated by the data set,
           expressed in thousands of bytes (kilobytes).

 Data Set Org
           The organization of data set.
