I'm doing some planning for a end-of-life for the mainframe conversion project, as in the 9th year of our 5 year plan to get off this system.
We have View Direct / Mobius report viewer. It has 100,000's of HSM migrated files in our 3494 library. If they just issue recalls for these in some order they choose, the physical tape and file order will be random and slow. On a good day, 500 recalls would probably be the max we could allow before we would need the drives for overnight production. I think when I did the math, it was 3-4 years worth of recalls. (That's OK, I need this job :-) ) Is there a faster way? If I had a list of files they wanted, could I send the recalls in tape - file sequence somehow to "batch" them?
