Re: DFSMSdss Release command

Gadi,

While this does not help to release the space on currently empty data sets,
you can mitigate the problem by having allocation assign a DSORG.

Set up your ACS rules to have datasets with an unspecified DSORG drop
through to a DATACLAS with DSORG=PS and the EOF is updated at allocation,
and release to 0 tracks will work on unopened datasets in the future.

Hi,
I am trying to create a job that will use the DFSMSdss RELEASE command to
release unused space from a list of datasets.
Can anyone help me?

Thanks

Kees,
Thanks for the update on DMS, We had DMS during the 3850 time and DMS spent 
quite a bit of time add 3850 code.

I was a so-so fan of it for a while and then we decided to drop it which was a 
major blow to our storage manager. IIRC it got too expensive.
It had/has a LOT of good features, it just takes a bit of time hunting around 
in the manuals to find some information, although once you are reasonably 
proficient you mostly don’t need the manuals.

Sorry about the misdirect on ADRDSSU like I said though its been a while.

A zero primary will do too. This trick is often used for dump output datasets 
for long running tasks, which will only allocate space if there really is a 
dump.

Re: DFSMSdss Release command

2018-05-01 Thread PINION, RICHARD W.
I have a program that releases free space without updating the last use date.  
The program reads an input file to select data sets for space release.  We 
build the input with FDREPORT.  
We select data sets that have a SMS MGMT class that allows
release of free space.

I am ashamed to say, but I can't remember the name of the gentlemen, on this 
list, who gave the program to me.  In addition, Sam Golob, of CBT fame, greatly 
assisted me in updating the program to run on z/OS 2.2.  

If you would like a copy of the program, please send me your email address, and 
I'll send you the source.

Sometimes you need a microscope to find information.
I wish I had CA-Disk on this system.

Any suggestions on how to free this space?

of Google.
Well hidden in the text is:
"DFSMSdss does not release any space for data sets that are empty (the last 
used block pointer in the data set’s VTOC entry is zero)."
AFAIK, there is no way around this restriction. We use CA-DISK for that.

If a user is commonly creating empty files, have them use a tiny primary with a 
large secondary extent.

Sometimes you need a microscope to find information.
I wish I had CA-Disk on this system.

Any suggestions on how to free this space?

Well hidden in the text is:

AFAIK, there is no way around this restriction. We use CA-DISK for that.

Re: DFSMSdss Release command

2018-05-01 Thread Gadi Ben-Avi
Thanks
I did that, but for some reason it's not working.
This is the command I am using:
GE 0001 5695-DF175  DFSMSDSS V2R02.0 DA
RELEASE -
  INCLUDE( -
KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180409 -
KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180412 -
KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180415 -
KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180416 -
KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180422 -
KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180423 -
KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180425 -
KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180426 -
  )

If I look at the file using DSLIST I see:
--
- Enter "/" to select actionTracks %Used   XT
--
 KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D11804091  100 1
 KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D11804121  100 1
 KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D118041510 1
 KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D118041610 1
 KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D118042210 1
 KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180423 35420 2
 KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180425 35420 2
 KVPO.LGDM02.KLITMINL.SHILTA.D1180426 35420 2

So I would expect the last 63 files to be processed, but I get a message saying 
that no files were processed.
Each of the files is allocated on one volume, so there are no multivolume 
issues.

Re: DFSMSdss Release command

2018-05-01 Thread Vernooij, Kees (ITOPT1) - KLM
The manual is a mess to find what you are looking for.
This the example chapter of RELEASE in the DFdss manual.
https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSLTBW_2.1.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r1.adru000/dgt3u2147.htm

to specify a list of datasets, use the FILTERDD parameter
//SYSINDD  *
  RELEASE DS(FILTERDD(FILTD1)) 
 //FILTD1   DD*  
  INCLUDE(DSN1-  
  DSN2-  
  DSN3-  
  DSN4-  
  DSN5-  
  DSN6-  
  DSN7-  
  DSN8-  
  DSN9-  
)
