Hi Sean, Have you created VRS definitions? These are used to control retention, based on a variety of factors, such as whether the dataset is catalogued. EDGRMMxx is more to do with system options and VLPOOL defs where I guess you'd set EXPDTCHECK(N) to rely on RMM volume status to govern scratch eligibility etc.
thanks, Simon. -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU> On Behalf Of Sean Gleann Sent: 29 July 2019 08:46 To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: [EXTERNAL] Seeking help with DFSMSrmm WARNING: this email has originated from outside of the SSE Group. Please treat any links or attachments with caution. ********************************************************************** I'm having considerable difficulty getting rmm to work on my system & I wonder if anyone might be able to help. The main problem is that I can't a seem to get it to retain tapes that have unexpired files on them. I've tried numerous combinations of settings in the EDGRMMxx parmlib member, all to no avail. I can get it to release tapes, yes, but it either leaves the associated file names in the system catalog, or it unilaterally deletes them, unexpired or not... which wouldn't make users very happy, should I ever let this beast out of the sandbox. If anyone has successfully implemented rmm on their system(s), perhaps you can shed some light on this (almost certainly self-inflicted) problem.
