Function: Identifies data sets that may not be supported by
automated storage management products until they
are modified or converted.
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
Data Set Name
The name of the data set.
Volume Serial Number
The volume serial number of the storage medium.
Data Set Org
The organization of the data set.
Date Created
The date that the data set was first allocated to
a DASD volume.
Date Last Used
The date that the data set was last referenced.
Alloc Type
The type of space allocation for this data set.
Extents
The number of non-contiguous segments of space
allocated to the data set on one volume.
Prot. Type
The security level of the data set.
Alloc Size (MB)
The amount of space allocated by the data set,
expressed in millions of bytes (megabytes).
Error Condition
A description of the error that causes this data
set to be unmanageable. A description of the
values that will appear in this column are as
follows:
UNKNOWN DSORG / POSSIBLY EMPTY
The data set organization option for this data
set has never been set to a valid value.
While some exotic software can still perform
I/O to the data set without setting the
organization option, there is also a
possibility that the data set was allocated
but never used.
UNMOVEABLE DATA SET
The data set organization option for this data
set contains a 'U', indicating that the data
set cannot be moved to another location. This
prevents this data set from being managed by
HSM, SMS, or other automated data management
products.
UNMOVEABLE DATA SET (OPTCD=A)
The data set organization option for this data
set indicates a direct-access (DA) data set,
and an OPTCD value of 'A' was also specified.
This means that the data contains
location-sensitive information, and the
application would probably not work if the
data set were moved to another location. This
prevents this data set from being managed by
HSM, SMS, or other automated data management
products.
ABSOLUTE TRACK ALLOCATION
The allocation type option for this data set
indicates that the data set was allocated at
an absolute track location on the volume.
This could have been done for performance
reasons, or because the software using the
data set expects it to reside at a fixed
location. This prevents this data set from
being managed by HSM, SMS, or other automated
data management products.
UNIQUE VSAM (NON-ICF) DATA SET
SHARED VSAM (NON-ICF) DATA SET
A VSAM data set (either UNIQUE or SHARED) was
detected that was cataloged in an old-style
VSAM catalog. These types of catalogs are not
supported by many automated data management
products, and the data sets contained in them
should be converted to use the newer ICF
(Integrated Catalog Facility) catalogs. These
messages may also appear for the VSAM type
catalogs themselves, as they are also VSAM
data sets.
CVOL CATALOG
An OS CVOL catalog was detected on this
volume. These types of catalogs are not
supported by many automated data management
products, and the data sets contained in them
should be converted to use the newer ICF
(Integrated Catalog Facility) catalogs.
PASSWORD PROTECTED
This data set was 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 the data set to a more recent
security mechanism, such as RACF (Resource
Access Control Facility) or a similar
facility.
ISAM ACCESS METHOD
This data set is defined as using the Indexed
Sequential Access Method (ISAM). This is an
older access method that is not supported by
many automated data management products.
Consider converting the data set to a more
recent access method, such as VSAM.
ZERO EXTENTS / NO SPACE USED
This data set is defined in the Volume Table
of Contents (VTOC), but is using no space on
the volume. While there are some valid
reasons for having this type of data set, it
could also be related to an allocation error
or a previous requirement that is no longer
valid.
NOT CATALOGED
CATALOG INFORMATION INCORRECT
This data set is either not cataloged, or has
catalog information that is incorrect. Many
automated data management products will only
support data sets that are cataloged. The
data set should either be deleted, or the
catalog information for it should be updated
or added. 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.
