Create all of the GDGs (+1) in a separate job before running the house keeping job. Due to the way RMM works, you cannot create the GDGs in the same job that writes to the GDGs. If you do not like that idea, then use non-GDG sequential datasets. But then you will not have a history of the RMM activity between house keeping job runs.
