DFSMShsm Installation Exits

z/OS DFSMS Implementing System-Managed Storage
SC23-6849-00

Programming Interface Information

Table 1 describes DFSMShsm installation exits used for either system-managed or non-system-managed data.

Table 1. DFSMShsm Installation Exits
Name Usage
ARCADEXT Data Set Deletion Exit:
  • Non-system-managed data sets
  • Delete-by-age and delete-if-backed-up processing
ARCBDEXT Data Set Backup Exit:
  • System-managed and non-system-managed data sets.
  • Volume and migrated data sets backup.
  • VTOC entry indicates the SMS status. Use this flag to bypass processing for system-managed data sets.
ARCCDEXT Data Set Reblock Exit:
  • System-managed and non-system-managed data sets.
  • Recall or recovery of sequential, blocked data if the SETSYS CONVERSION is specified and the VTOC entry indicates that the data set is not system-reblockable.
  • Use to change the block size to zero. This causes the data set to be marked system-reblockable, and allows DFSMSdfp to determine the block size for the device to which the data set is being recalled or recovered. The block size is recalculated if the data set moves to a different device type in the future.
  • Exercise care with load modules; some data sets (for example, load libraries) are sensitive to reblocking.
ARCMDEXT Data Set Migration Exit:
  • System-managed and non-system-managed data sets
  • Data sets selected for migration from a user volume
  • Bypass processing for system-managed data sets
  • A VTOC entry indicates the SMS status
ARCMMEXT Second Level Migration Exit:
  • System-managed and non-system-managed data sets.
  • Data sets selected for migration from a user volume.
  • A flag in the DFSMShsmmigration control data set (MCDS) record indicates the SMS status. Use this flag to bypass processing for system-managed data sets.
ARCMVEXT Volume Migration Exit:
  • System-managed data sets.
  • Defragments volumes when their fragmentation index is sufficiently large
ARCRDEXT Recall Exit:
  • Non-system-managed data sets.
  • Determine the recall target volume from a set of volumes selected by DFSMShsm.
ARCSAEXT Space Management and Backup Exit:
  • System-managed and non-system-managed data sets
  • Use during space management and backup
  • VTOC entry indicates the SMS status
  • Parameter list has been extended to contain SMS-related data
