File Maintenance › Initialize Backup Library

Initialize Backup Library

Remove all members from the backup PDS that contains old versions of Production members. Delete and reallocate the data set.

Activity

This job assumes that all old members have been copied to an archive tape already.

The backup data set is deleted without first copying the contents to an archive medium. The backup data set is then reallocated using the overriding space parameter and the DCB information from the Production data set with which it is associated.

Output

An empty backup data set.
