ARC1253I
DATA SET NEEDS BACKUP SO IT WAS NOT EXPIRED

Explanation

During SMS expiration processing, the data set was found to still be in need of backup. It is not expired until the backup is done.

DFSMShsm determines a data set is NOT in need of backup if one of the following situations exists:
  • The data set change flag is off in the VTOC entry AND the last backup date in the catalog is nonzero. Note that DFSMShsm does not verify the existence of the backup version.
  • The data set change flag is off in the VTOC entry AND the last backup date in the catalog is zero AND the management class does not request autobackup for this data set.
  • The data set change flag is on in the VTOC entry AND the management class does not request autobackup for this data set.
  • The MCVT bit (MCVTNDBU) is on, which indicates bypassing the current SMS DBU requirement that a backup copy needs to exist before expiring a data set.
This message is referenced by an associated ARC0734I message. The name of the data set is included in the ARC0734I message.
Note: ADMIN OR USER COMMAND BACKUP must not be specified as NONE and AUTO BACKUP must be specified as Y to request automatic backup.

System action

The individual data set is not expired. DFSMShsm processing continues.
