SMS-managed data set
If you want to have SMS manage the data set, check the "SMS-managed" option. An "SMS-managed
data set" is defined as a data set that has a storage class assigned. A storage class is
assigned when the installation-written ACS routine selects a storage class for the new data set.
If you specified SMS-management, you can specify one or more SMS classes:
- Management class - MGMTCLAS(management_class_name)
specifies the name, 1 to 8 characters, of the management class for a new data set.
When possible, do not specify MGMTCLAS. Instead, use the default your storage
administrator provides through the ACS routines. After the data set is allocated, attributes in the management class control the
following: (1) Migrating the data set, which includes migration from primary storage
to Data Facility Hierarchical Storage Manager (DFHSM) owned storage to archival storage.
(2) Backing up the data set, which includes frequency of backup, number of versions,
and retention criteria for backup versions.
- Storage class - STORCLAS(storage_class_name)
specifies the name, 1 to 8 characters, of the storage class. If you have no specific
storage class requirements, do not specify STORCLAS. Instead, use the default your
storage administrator provides through the ACS routines.
- Data class - DATACLAS(data_class_name)
specifies the name, 1 to 8 characters, of the data class for the data set.
If you choose
SMS-managed, but do not indicate any SMS classes, the wizard uses defaults specified
by your installation.
