Source: Non-CA MICS tape management catalog
Function: Identifies data sets that are not stored on the
most efficient storage media. For example, small
tape data sets that are used frequently might be
more cost effective if stored on DASD.
Additionally, this report allows the user to
specify size and usage criteria, plus the amount
of data to be moved, and then indicates the tape
data sets that may be candidates for movement to
DASD.
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.
Reads data from an external SAS file that
describes the tape management catalog. A sample
external interface helps the user put their tape
data into the required format.
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, or could be incorporated into an ACS
exit routine to allow SMS to automatically create
new data sets having a matching name or the
correct medium.
COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS
Data Set Name
The name of the data set. 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 Tape-to-DASD movement are
those data sets that are small in size and
referenced frequently. 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).
Volume Serial Number
The volume serial number of the storage medium.
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.
Jobname Last Using
The name of the batch job that last used this data
set.
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.
