Re: DFSMSHSM Management Class Question

2012-10-09 Thread retired mainframer
If there is no BCDS information for a dataset, then as far as HSM is concerned the dataset has no backup. Unless you patch HSM, it will not delete a dataset that has no backup. Determining how this occurred may be more trouble than it is worth if the datasets were migrated long ago. You could
