DFRMM ABENDU0006: handling I/O errors to the CDS

RMM issues an ABENDU0006 to indicate that a problem was encountered when trying to perform I/O to the RMM control data set. In some cases this abend is not needed and could be handled in a less disruptive way that does not require customer interve...

DFSMSrmm does not use UNIT specified in ISPF's ISPF Configuration Utility, but uses SYSALLDA specified in CLIST.

When I try to use the DFSMSrmm "G (Report Generation)" feature, SYS1.SEDGEXE1 (EDGRGREP) runs and userid.REPORT.LIB / userid.REPORT.JCL is allocated.The allocation parameter in SYS1.SEDGEXE1 (EDGRGREP) specifies UNIT (SYSALLDA), so it will try to ...

RMM should not submit volume ejects when OAM is down or restarting

We were in the process of ejecting several hundred thousand VTS logical volumes on a system that is in the process of being decommissioned when we started getting some errors (CBR3717I & CBR3650I). In determining root cause we found out that a...

RMM should keep RMM database in sync with VTS and TCCB

We have had several instances over the years where the issuance of an RMM command has resulted in the RMM database being out of sync with the TCDB and VTS volume repository. In general we would like RMM to keep its' repository in sync with the TCD...

DFSMS RMM RM VRSEL

With RM EXPDT, only the first volume in the SET needs to be changed and all volumes in the SET are updated and RETAINBY SET is maintained. . However, with RM VRSEL, if you were to update the volume via RMM ispf dialog(panels), another panel will b...

The EXPDT retention method needs an option for WHILECATALOG control that is independent of expiration date and relies on catalog status only

In the VRSEL retention method, you can code WHILECATALOG and IGNORE EXPIRY DATE = YES. The effect of this is that when the catalog is deleted, the dataset is no longer retained and in the next run of the EXPROC function will be release. In the EXP...

Updating SYS1.SAMPLIB(EDGJRECV) to not require lost tape rack number or create new sample member to recover virtual volume

Currently, the EDGJRECV sample for recovering lost tape volume records in RMM CDS requires rack number in the IN1 DD CARD, which is not possible for virtual/logical volumes, so the sample cannot be used to recover lost virtual tape volume records.

DFSMSrmm CDS/Journal Mirroring support

DFSMSrmm needs to automatically resolve CDS consistency point from journal when recovering from unplanned DR event. Consistency point of the hardware produced an event to RMM where the Journal had been updated but the CDS had not. At startup today...
