When CATLG is coded in the DUMPOPTIONS/STREAMOPTIONS for a SID, all history files that are generated for that SID/stream will be cataloged. When an extract calls for a cataloged DASD history file, it will search the system catalog. This enables an extract to find a history file that has been archived by your site's DASD management system and later restored to a volume other than its original volume.
If AUTODEL is in effect, CA SMF Director will use the system catalog to locate any cataloged DASD history file that meets the expiration criteria. Thus, expired history files will get deleted regardless of the volume on which they reside at the time. They will also get uncataloged. If a DASD history file is archived at the time that it expires, CA SMF Director will simply uncatalog it.
