Before You Begin: See Step 19: Starting DFSMSrmm for information about the stopping or quiescing of DFSMSrmm to allow processing for restoring or reorganizing the control data set.

To move the control data set or journal to a different device, use DFSMSrmm utilities. For other DFSMSrmm data sets, such as the extract data set, use the existing storage management techniques that you are familiar with to move them.

These topics provide examples for moving the control data set and journal data set that use both DFSMSrmm utilities and non-DFSMSrmm techniques. If you want to move the control data set and not the journal, modify these examples as follows:

1. Do not allocate a new journal data set.
2. Only alter the control data set name. Do not alter the journal name or change the journal name in the DFSMSrmm EDGRMMxx parmlib.

Do not change the restore step to ensure that the restore process includes forward recovery from the journal records.
