Bob, I understand that. Hoever, if the dsn is not migrated will it be deleted? Does the Expiration attributes take precdence over the Migration attributes/

After 4 days of non-usage, the dsn *will* migrate to ML1. After 7 more days of non-usage, it will migrate to ML2. After 540 days, it will expire. If the dataset has not migrated, numerous possible conditions exist: 1) it was referenced and therefore not eligible for migration because of usage. 2) it has not been backed up and is not eligible for migration 3) the volume is not eligible for migration and/or backup 4) something else is afoot that we are not aware of (premature ending of space management windows, etc.) Bob -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of esmie moo Sent: Wednesday, October 29, 2014 7:32 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: DFHSM QUESTION - EXPIRATION OF DSN Good Morning Gentle Readers, I have a question about the expiration of a dsn by HSM. The rule says the following : Expiration Attributes Expire after Days Non-usage . : 540 Expire after Date/Days . . . . : NOLIMIT Retention Limit . . . . . . . : 0 However the Migration attributes are as follows: Migration Attributes Primary Days Non-usage . : 4 Level 1 Days Date/Days . : 7 Command or Auto Migrate . : BOTH My question is will HSM delete the dsn if it is NOT migrated? I think that the DSN needs to be migrated in order for HSM to delte the dsn. Could anybody confirm my comprehension or mis-comprehension should it be the case?
