Re: Storage question

2018-11-22 Thread retired mainframer
RACF protects datasets, not dataset names. If catalog services has access to the UCAT and the DSNs are catalogued "normally," 3.4 will list the DSNs with no problem. You won't be able to do anything with the datasets but that is a different issue. DSNs that are not catalogued normally, or at

Did you mean for your question to ask what created the dataset as opposed to what is currently allocating it? If so, the creation date in the DSCB will tell where to search the SMF records for the catalog update that should have occurred when the dataset was created. If not and the dataset

The only reference I can find for Global Volume Catalog is for CA VTape. If that is the system you will be using, the Global VCAT is just a VSAM dataset that you can define in any catalog (and on any volume) you choose. You just need to insure that the HLQ of the Global VCAT's DSN relates to the

How did you copy TEST01 to PROD01. When the dataset was initially created, the HDR1 label contained the text "TEST01" at offset 21. When copied to PROD01, if the program treated all the files as data, then the header and trailer labels were probably copied verbatim. That means that the

2018-09-15 Thread retired mainframer
Will your Z110S and Z210M systems run simultaneously in different LPARs? If so, then you do not want to copy the catalog entry. This will cause both systems to try to use the same page dataset on the same volume. In this case you need to define new page datasets for Z210M. See the "DEFINE
