1) management class is the same. I verified this using 3.4. 2) how do I verify that the appropriate number of backups are present? I know that 3 of them must exist when the dataset is not deleted. One backup when deleted. I confirmed that there is a backup when the dataset is not longer catalog by recalling it with "hrecover".

If not, the DBU (delete if backed up ) function may be preventing deletion of the migrated copy. There is an appropriate message in the Migration or Backup logs indicating this is the case. If so, there is a document patch. See GC52-1083-07 dfHSM Diagnosis Guide HTH, <snip> We have a Management Class defined to expire datasets after a given number of days. I know it is working because I found some datasets about to expire, waited for them to expire, and now I can see they are no longer in the catalog (the management class stipulates that we keep one backup for a few years after deleting). But, I also noticed that some files that have exactly the same management class and should have been expired/deleted a long time ago are still catalogued. I recalled one of them and it had no expiration date and confirmed that it belongs to the same management class. </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
