Hmmmm, it has been awhile, but I believe when you issue HMIGRATE that is considered "command" migration and it ignores those attributes and does what you told it to do. :-)

The STORAGE GROUP is SMS managed but it is exempt from Auto Migrate. A batch job is executed weekly to manually migrate the dsns - below is the command : HMIG 'SYS2.B*.HISTORY.D*.T*' ML2 Below is the construct of this particular Management Class Expiration Attributes Expire after Days Non-usage . : 55 Expire after Date/Days . . . . : 55 Retention Limit . . . . . . . : NOLIMIT Migration Attributes Primary Days Non-usage . : 3 Level 1 Days Date/Days . : 0 Command or Auto Migrate . : BOTH When the batch job is executed all the dsns (these are all VSAM dsns) are migrated ML2 - including those that were created this morning before the migrate was done. According to the Migration Attributes shouldn't those dsns which were created today & yesterday not be migrated? Could someone help me understand where else I should look. Thanks in advance for your help. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
