I did a "TSO HSEND QUERY SETSYS" and noticed that I have scheduled space mgt for primary on (0600, 1800) and for secondary on (2400, 0459). But I also noticed that the "Scratch expired Data Sets" is set to NO.
That could be the problem. How do I turn it on? I am taking it to higher authorities because I will be deleting a massive amount of data. I suspect I will have to create JCL with TSO Batch to "HDELETE" the expired datasets. At that point I should turn on the parameter to let DFSMSHSM do its job. Any thoughts? ________________________________________ From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [[email protected]] on behalf of Staller, Allan [[email protected]] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2012 2:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: DFSMSHSM is a not deleting expired datasets There is a patch for this. See the DFHSM Diagnosis manual. Look for DBU (delete backed up). <snip> One trap I fell into was the backup. If a dataset is not backed up, DFhsm won't delete it, even if it's expired. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
