Using Both SMS Data Class Constructs and Data Set Name Filtering

CA Vtape Data Class Filter List matching takes precedence over the Data Set Name Pattern Filter List. When a data class match occurs, no data set name filter processing is performed. If no data class match occurs, data set name filter processing is performed.

By using both techniques, the advantages of both Data Class and Data Set Name Filtering are combined.

The disadvantages of using both techniques are the additional complexity in the selection logic, especially when the same data set is defined in both filter lists, and the decentralizing of filter processing, which increases your management time. For these reasons we do not recommended using both techniques.
