Migration data sets distinguished by different importance of the data sets.

We would like to be able to customize characteristics of migration data sets distinguished by different importance of the data sets.

Currently, there is no way to configure specific migration tape data set name for different sets of files.
All tape migration data sets are named "prefix.HMIGTAPE.DATASET".

Or duplex migration could not be configured only for some data sets.

    No. Please provide more detail information such as link or reference.
    Is it available now or will be available in future release of TS7700?
    Thank you

    The DFSMShsm solution for this request will be through the TS7700 DS8K object support. When this support is fully available, the SMS management class will determine to which TS7700 partition a data set will migrate. Each partition can have the appropriate availability characteristics. Are you familiar with this support?
