We need to recall many objects from OAM optical to DB2 dasd (user requirement). In parmlib, SETOSMC MAXRECALLTASKS is 4, and RECALLOPTICAL(90) is set on the storage group. To test, we are using OSREQ RETRIEVE with RECALL. This does not seem to be giving us what we need. The object is not recalled to dasd but remains on optical. We determine this by the length of time that it takes to view the object after the recall, and by verifying with SQL against the IMAGPLUS object directory that the object is indeed not on dasd.
Questions: On an OAM RECALL, do the SMS ACS routines get invoked? If so, what is the ACSENVIR at this point? Is it STORE? Also, do we need to change the storclas on each object before we recall it? After a succesful recall, does the mgmtclas not affect the object? If the RECALL is for 90 days, this doesn't necessarily match certain values in the mgmtclas (creation days/months, etc.). Finally, is the recalled object just a COPY of the original from optical? We have seveal manuals out researching this and are testing. Any insight would be appreciated.
