If you wish to change the default behavior of DFHSM to *NOT* require a backup before deletion, use the DBU patch described in my previous post..
<snip> If there is no BCDS information for a dataset, then as far as HSM is concerned the dataset has no backup. Unless you patch HSM, it will not delete a dataset that has no backup. Determining how this occurred may be more trouble than it is worth if the datasets were migrated long ago. You could start tracking newly migrated datasets to determine if the situation repeats and possibly catch it while there is enough data to correct the cause. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
