Explanation: MIGRATIONLEVEL2 is an optional
parameter specifying that a specific data set migrate from an SMS
volume directly to a migration level 2 volume. You must specify the
data set name with the DATASETNAME parameter to cause DFSMShsm to
migrate a specific data set directly to a migration level 2 volume.
An SMS-managed data set residing on an SMS volume or a migrated
SMS-managed data set residing on a migration volume is migrated to
a migration level 2 volume, regardless of the data set’s management
class attributes.
Defaults: None.
Note: - You must specify the MIGRATIONLEVEL2 parameter when you request
that DFSMShsm migrate a data set on a migration level 1 volume. DFSMShsm
migrates the data set to the type of migration level 2 volume that
is consistent with your environment. For example, if you are in a
tape migration environment, DFSMShsm migrates the data set to a tape
migration level 2 volume rather than a DASD migration level 2 volume.
You specify the type of migration environment with the TAPEMIGRATION
parameter of the SETSYS command.
- The MIGRATIONLEVEL2 parameter is not necessary in a direct-to-tape
environment.
- The MIGRATIONLEVEL2 parameter can be used to override the management
class attribute LEVEL-1-DAYS-NON-USAGE.
