    ADRDSSU Dump: should not ignore migrated Dataset, at least give warning message for Migrated Dataset not included in DUMP

    Hello Team,Our monthly maintenance process is lot dependent on ADRDSSU utility, where we take DUMP of target to Runtime and Runtime DUMP from one lpar to another using ADRDSSU. Last two months due to some SMS change some of our target libraries go...

    Compatibility between Striped multi-layered VSAMs and Fast replication

    We would like to use FAST REPLICATION to copy Striped multi-layered VSAMs. Today if we try to do that, we get the messages: ADR918I (001)-AMOVE(25), FAST REPLICATION COULD NOT BE USED FOR DATA SET B4DB2P2.DSNDBC.D1D4V01.S1D4V925.I0001.A014, RETURN...

    ADRDSSU Dump should generate SMF records on input datasets and volumes

    IZBR uses smf records to build the Backup Table. It can process standard smf records when backups are made by various programs like IDCAMS or IEBCOPY but not from (the most commonly used backup method) ADRDSSU DUMP (or COPY). Now clients can set u...

    Require DFSMS DSS to provide detailed messages about the encryption status of data sent to the cloud, and also to enquire on crypto status of cloud-resident data.

    Any enterprise sending data to the cloud must be confident the data sent is encrypted at the target and on the wire with customer keys and not just the provider keys. Messages should be issued displaying the status. In addition a query command nee...

    ADRDSSU RESTORE to allow target system SMS attributes

    While running z/OSMF PSI to install z/OSv2r5, Job IZUD05UZ invokes GIMUNZIP which calls ADRDSSU to RESTORE the zFS data set. Unfortunately the target data set always get the DATACLAS value from the source data set. Thus the target zFS gets the DAT...

    DUMP Full list datset who were on the volume

    Once upon a time, with DFDSS when you do Dump full you can only do a restore full. Since many years, you are able to restore a dataset unless the dump was full. The problem is that you never had the list of dataset contained on the dump full. Obvi...

    Add advanced encryption algorithms for DUMP/RESTORE

    Right now, DFSMS DSS dump/restore support the following encryption algorithms. CLRTDES - This option specifies that the dumped data is encrypted with a clear triple-length DES key. CLRAES128 - This option specifies that the dumped data is encrypte...

    DFDSS to define new target GDG base and use relative generations for target GDS's.

    DFDSS has the ability to process input Generation Data Sets via relative generation numbers, but cannot create new target generations using the relative generation (+n). It also cannot define target GDG's as part of a COPY or RESTORE operation.

    Tape volume output on UIM should contains DSNAME of dumped files

    I use UIM exit to keep some information during a DFDSS DUMP function. During DUMP process, on UIM exit, i can have only information about the ddname and volser where the DUMP file created by dfdss resides. Now, with UIM exit there is no way to hav...

    Increase or remove DFSMSdss 255 SYSIN statement limit

    DFSMSdss has a limit of 255 SYSIN statements per execution. This limits to ~200 the number of datasets in any one execution of COPY or RESTORE with individual RENAMEU statements, even when using DATASET(FILTERDD(name)).
