Sounds like a good setup, the EDM reference will scratch the tape when DFHSM says it is done with it. However, since you are not expiring datasets, very few, if any tapes are being released. Of course, since you work for the legal system, they might not want things scratched.... Check with the powers that be before proceeding...
IMO, change EXPIREDDATASETS to SCRATCH and bite the bullet. The first secondary space management that runs will do a lot of work. HTH, <snip> I have HSM set as an External Data Manager in CA1 (EDM=HSM,PGM=ARCCTL in CTOEDM00). My SYS1.PARMLIB(ARCCMD00) specifies EXPIREDDATASETS(NOSCRATCH). For those with CA1 and EDM specified, how is yours set up? What reason would a shop have to specify NOSCRATCH? Can you tell I haven't supported HSM before? :-) (Always been in places with FDR, or had a separate team doing storage "stuff" for the past 20 years or so.) </snip> Cheers,,,Steve Steven F.

And yes, it will do all of them the first time SEC SPACE MGMT runs. Just bite the bullet.... HTH, <snip> 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. </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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
