 these administrative items

 DASD Space Management Systems
 
 If a DASD space management system is installed, data sets
 might be deleted automatically if the data sets are not
 defined to a master file table.  Ensure that all of
 the CA MICS complex and unit data sets and the work data sets
 used in each of the daily jobs are added to this master file
 table.  This prevents the DASD space management system from
 deleting CA MICS data sets.
 
 Tape Management Systems
 
 If a tape management system is installed, data sets might be
 automatically scratched if they are not properly defined.
 For example, GDG tape data sets.  Ensure that all of the CA
 MICS tape files (backups and archives) have been properly
 defined to the tape management system.
 
 System Backup
 
 Ensure that backups of the CA MICS libraries are taken and
 are updated when system modifications are applied.  It is
 prudent to have a duplicate copy of the CA MICS system stored
 offsite as a backup.
