John, You always get a management class assigned for a sms-managed dataset. You need a product like DFSMShsm, CA-Disk or FDR/ABARS to take action based on the attributes in the management class. You might get an expiration date assigned to a dasd dataset if you have a retention limit but again, you need a data management product to take the action.
Regards, John I am confused. Doesn't the MANAGEMENT class kick in even there is no DFHSM in place. For example the EXPIRE after & Retention Limit is this only relevant if DFHSM is installed? How about if there is FDR instead? What would control the management of these dsns : Expire after Days Non-usage . : Expire after Date/Days . . . . : Retention Limit . . . . . . . : --- On Sat, 22/5/10, Michael Wickman <[email protected]> wrote: From: Michael Wickman <[email protected]> Subject: Re: SMS QUESTION To: [email protected] Received: Saturday, 22 May, 2010, 2:42 AM You might want to consider the management class activity if there is a possibility the data/application could move to a lpar with DFHSM. If that's unlikely, then it's not necessary.

The user doesn't want this particular STORAGE GROUP to have migration. This sounds okay however since there is no DFHSM in this partition is it necessary to pay particular attention or modify the MANAGEMENT class CONSTRUCT & ACS routines? The archiving tool in this partitioin is CA-DISK.
