Stan, Thanks for the clarification that Command migrate will supersede the SMS attributes. The reason why this particular Storage group is exempted from Space Management is because there are several system files which reside in this storage group. Exempting them from migration could open the door for other unforseen problems. Thanks.

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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
