    Hi Stephen

    We are looking for the SMS-configuration in DCOLLECT output.
    Data such as:
    COPY POOL NAME, # BACKUP VERSIONS, AUTO DUMP, DUMP SYS OR SYS GRP, LAST MOD USERID,
    LAST DATE MODIFIED, LAST TIME MODIFIED, DUMP CLASS, STORAGE GROUP NAME, etc..

    regards
    David

    This RFE originates from PMR 20678,112,848. IBM suggested, that the PMR is to be closed and i open an RFE instead.
    The original request (in the PMR) was:

    Fehlerbezeichnung Include 'Copy Pools' in DCOLLECT Output . Problem description and business impact Is there a way to have DCOLLECT include data about 'Copy Pools'. Basically the same data, that is shown in ISPF Application ISMF under menu Copy Pool (P). I did not find a parameter for DCOLLECT that would produce this information. However, maybe the documentation is not fully complete at this point as well.




    regards

    We are seeing this as two requirements:
    SMS configuration - DCOLLECT output for defined copy pools (name, included storage groups, other settings)
    This is what I interpret the RFE to be asking for
    HSM - DCOLLECT output for backup copies that have been created for each copy pool

    Which is it?
