REORGadon for HSM
Company:
Dino Software
The traditional approach to control data set reorganization requires exclusive control of the system. Although not impossible, most 24x7 shops would rather let production processing and other activity continue than incur an outage. HSM is an integral and intertwined part of a z/OS system. Batch reorganization methodology dictates that HSM processing must be stopped on all systems where HSM is using a control data set. No data set RECALLs, migrations, HSM backups, or space management can take place until the reorganization is complete and the HSM address space is restarted. REORGadon for HSM is a unique tool for reorganizing IBM’s Hierarchical Storage Manager (DFSMShsm) control data sets (CDS). HSM uses three different control data sets – the Backup Control Data Set (BCDS), the Migration Control Data Set (MCDS), and the Offline Control Data Set (MCDS). The control data sets may be used by HSM in a multi-host environment on single or multiple systems. REORGadon provides HSM control data set reorganization while the files are active and online to HSM, and without having to shutdown and restart HSM. REORGadon also installs without stopping and starting HSM. REORGadon reclaims and reorganizes fragmented space in HSM control data sets and allows the selection and processing of a control data set segment that is “in-use” by HSM on an active single or multi-system environment. This ability represents a huge savings in time and manpower to any company that suffers from oppressive time constraints.
