I'm guessing that somehow the GDG base is the differentiator as I've seen the same sequential behavior as you in allocating multiple, disparate datasets.

I have not tried nor observed how a base gdg is handled. ________________________________ From: Pommier, Rex R.

[mailto:] Sent: Mon 4/9/2007 11:05 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Recalling GDG generations Actually I just tried this (the IEFBR14 job) because I have seen the issue that Gil mentioned, where HSM recalls 1 dataset at a time for a normal batch job. I just recalled 31 generations out of a 91 generation GDG. I thought it would single reload the migrated generations but it didn't. Using the IEFBR14 job, HSM grouped the datasets by tape, and reloaded all the generations that were on that tape, then while rewinding tape 1, went to tape 2 and loaded all the generations on that tape. A pleasant surprise. Now that I learned something, can I go home? :-) Rex BTW, my MAXRECALLTASKS is 5 and my TAPEMAXRECALLTASKS is 2. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
