Function: Summarizes, by volume, errors that must be
corrected before the volume can be used with DFSMS
or other automated storage management products.
Users planning for automated products can identify
those volumes with potential problems and those
volumes that can be automated immediately. This
shortens the time needed to implement automated
products, and reduces the errors that occur when
the software is implemented.
Features: For some error types, JCL and control statements
that will correct the error can be generated
automatically.
The error types listed on this report include
older access methods, uncataloged data sets, and
data sets with restrictive allocation parameters.
Selection of only certain error types is
supported, so that each user can tailor the
detection and correction process to their own
needs.
SMS
Users: This report can be used to identify data sets that
cannot be managed by SMS. These data sets will
then either have to be converted to a supported
format or moved to a volume that will not be
managed by SMS. The JCL and control statements
generated by the analysis can assist in correcting
some types of errors.
COLUMN DESCRIPTIONS
Volume Serial Number
The volume serial number of the storage medium.
*TOTAL ERRORS*
The total number of unmanageable data sets found
on this volume. This column is a sum of all the
error columns to the right of it.
Catalog Errors
The number of data sets found on this volume that
either were not cataloged, or had a catalog entry
showing the data set residing on a different
volume from this one. Catalog errors can only be
detected if the data being analyzed was produced
by a run of the CA MICS DASD Collector that had
the catalog option active.
Zero Extents
The number of data sets on this volume that were
represented by an entry in the volume table of
contents (VTOC), but had no space allocated on the
volume. Review these data sets to see if they are
really necessary.
Unmoveable Data Sets
The number of data sets on this volume that had
the unmoveable attribute set in the data set
organization option area, or were defined as
direct-access data sets with an OPTCD value of
'A'. This indicates that the data sets cannot be
moved, and thus cannot be managed with automated
storage management software.
Absolute Track Allocation
The number of data sets on this volume that were
allocated at an absolute track location on the
volume. Review these data sets to see why they
were allocated in this manner. This indicates
that the data sets cannot be managed with
automated storage management software.
Invalid DSORG
The number of data sets on this volume that
contained missing or invalid values in the data
set organization option area, as well as data sets
defined as using the ISAM access method.
Investigate these data sets to see if they contain
valid data, or if they are empty. This indicates
that the data sets cannot be managed with
automated storage management software.
CVOL Catalogs
The number of old-style CVOL catalogs that were
found on this volume. These types of catalogs are
not supported by many automated software products,
nor are any of the data sets cataloged in them.
Consider converting these to a more recent catalog
type, such as an ICF (Integrated Catalog Facility)
catalog.
VSAM Data Sets
The number of VSAM data sets on this volume that
were found to be cataloged in old style-VSAM
catalogs. These older types of catalogs will
appear on this report, as well as any data sets
found cataloged in them. These types of catalogs
are not supported by many automated software
products, nor are any of the data sets cataloged
in them. Consider converting these to a more
recent catalog type, such as an ICF (Integrated
Catalog Facility) catalog.
Password Protected
The number of data sets on this volume that were
found to be protected using the old-style OS
password mechanism. These types of data sets are
not supported by many automated software products.
Consider converting these to a more recent
security mechanism, such as RACF (Resource Access
Control Facility) or a similar facility.
