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 have DSNAME created and i need it to do my recovery list.

My problem, i have to establish a disaster recovery procedure from an empty Z/OS LPAR.

I have to start with an empty system with standalone tapes.

So in my case of a major disaster recovery when i have few informations and subsystem available, it will be great if i can have the dsname and where this dump reside.

It will be easily to code my first recovering jobs.

    Although DSS may not provide the dump data set name in our exit processing, there are likely system macros in place to obtain that information from the DDname we do provide. First to come to mind is the read JFCB (RDJFCB) macro which should provide the data set name as a result.

    As for providing this in ADRDSSU UIM, this item is unlikely to be given high enough priority to be placed into the product plan. If you feel that this requirement is needed, please resubmit or create a new updated request.

    The best thing to do is to generate the RESTORE JCL into PDS members in subsequent steps after the DUMP step has run, and include the specific tape numbers on the VOL=SER parameter if necessary. That PDS can then be sent to the remote site, if that's possible. Otherwise it can be created on one of the volumes such as that with the Mastercatalog that will be stand-alone restored at the start on the empty LPAR.
