Description: Before z/OS V1R13, new SMS storage group constructs were created in DFSMS in support of the z/OSMF DASD Management task. Starting with z/OS V1R13 the DASD Management task has been removed from z/OSMF, and these fields (known as SMA attributes) will be removed from the storage group construct (IGDSGD). The fields have been removed from ISMF panels, Naviquest APIs, and DCOLLECT records.
Element or feature: | DFSMSdfp |
When change was introduced: | z/OS V1R13 with APAR PM40869 applied. See Software Announcement 211-252 (RFA56143). |
