Gadi, Here is a random snapshot from ISMF's Management Class display for the applicable columns:
# BACKUPS # BACKUPS RETAIN DAYS RETAIN DAYS (DS EXISTS) (DS DELETED) ONLY BACKUP EXTRA BACKUPS ---(13)---- ----(14)---- ---(15)---- ----(16)----- 1 0 1 1 --- --- ------- ------- 7 2 730 730 7 2 180 NOLIMIT 1 1 180 30 2 1 5 NOLIMIT 13 13 NOLIMIT NOLIMIT 13 13 NOLIMIT NOLIMIT 13 13 NOLIMIT NOLIMIT 13 3 900 900 3 3 180 180 13 3 900 900 13 13 900 900 13 13 900 900 --- --- ------- ------- 13 13 NOLIMIT NOLIMIT 13 13 NOLIMIT NOLIMIT 13 13 NOLIMIT NOLIMIT For non-SMS, look up the ADDVOL command in the manual for stuff enforced at the volume level. For dataset backups, code RETPD and/or EXPDT in the JCL; or use GDGs, etc. Bob -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Gadi Ben-Avi Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2019 4:39 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: HSM question Thanks In the Management Class there are to more options I would like to set: How many backup versions of a deleted dataset are kept. How long the backup is kept. Do these settings have equivalent setting for Non-SMS datasets?
