expired data sets by management class
Colleen,
I'll try turning backup off and see if they go away tonight.
Just for my own knowledge, with the number of datasets deleted set to 1,
I have to have a backup before it will allow expiration? I was under

Since we seem to be to the point of 'grasping at straws', I would add 'are
you sure the DSN has 5 days of non use'? I've had problem with things, eg

HSM cannot manage a data set with DSORG unknown. You must assign a dataclass
for HSM to manage it. If a data set is eligible for expiration but space
management is not expiring it; this indicates that there could be a problem
with the records in the MCDS. You'll need to audit the MCDS to see
By the way, data doesn't need to be backed up by HSM to be migrated. There is
an option in the management class you can select that REQUIRES a backup before
migration but if you don't have that turned on; you can successfully migrate
data without a backup. There is no relationship between

Hi Rex,
Yes, you're right. Sorry about that. Can you cut and paste the entire
