Examples of how to code the MIGRATE command for non-SMS-managed data sets

The following examples show different ways to code the MIGRATE command.

Note: Any values specified here are only examples and should not be interpreted as the values to be used for your system.

Migration of all the data sets from a volume

In this example, migration is requested for all the data sets on the primary volume.

   MIGRATE VOLUME(PRIM03 MIGRATE(0))

The following command also migrates all data sets from a primary volume:

   MIGRATE VOLUME(PRIM01) DAYS(0)

Migration of data sets based on the number of elapsed days since the data set was last referred to

In this example, migration is requested for data sets that reside on the primary volume and have not been referred to for at least five days.

   MIGRATE VOLUME(PRIM01 MIGRATE(5))

Direct migration of a data set to a level 2 volume

In this example, the specified data set migrates directly to a migration level 2 volume.

   MIGRATE DATASETNAME(FET7603.JOB33.LOAD) MIGRATIONLEVEL2

Migration of data sets from a volume not managed by DFSMShsm

In this example, migration is attempted for all the data sets that meet the DAYS criterion of the SETSYS command and reside on a volume not managed by DFSMShsm.

   MIGRATE VOLUME(MSS004) UNIT(3390)

Data set deletion of eligible data sets on a volume

In this example, all eligible data sets on the primary volume that have not been referred to for at least 20 days and whose expiration dates have been reached are scratched.

   MIGRATE VOLUME(VOL005 DELETEBYAGE(20))

Moving all data sets from a volume not managed by DFSMShsm to primary volumes

In this example, all DFSMShsm-supported data sets on a volume not managed by DFSMShsm move to primary volumes that allow automatic recall.

   MIGRATE VOLUME(VOL081 MIG(0)) UNIT(3390) CONVERT

Moving all data sets from a primary volume

In this example, you want to remove all data sets from a primary volume.

   MIGRATE VOLUME(ONVOL MIG(0)) CONVERT

Moving data sets from a primary volume to another primary volume

In this example, the volume was added to control of DFSMShsm with the space management technique of MIGRATE. The target volume is a volume managed by DFSMShsm. All supported data sets that have not been referred to in the last five days are moved from the 3380 volume (USER80) to the target 3390 volume (NEW90).

   MIGRATE VOLUME(USER80 MIGRATE(5)) CONVERT(NEW90)

Moving one data set from one primary volume to another primary volume

In this example, one data set is moved from a volume to another primary volume without setting up an IEHMOVE utility job.

   MIGRATE DATASETNAME(MYDS) CONVERT

You could issue this command to cause extent reduction or to move this data set from a full volume to another volume whose free space is in less demand.

Migration of data sets from all migration level 1 volumes

In this example, migration is requested for the data sets on all migration level 1 volumes that have not been referred to for at least two days.

   MIGRATE MIGRATIONLEVEL1 DAYS(2)

Data set deletion of a tape migration level 2 volume

In this example, data set deletion is requested for the data sets on a tape migration level 2 volume that have not been referred to for 30 days and whose expiration dates have been reached.

   MIGRATE VOLUME(M2TP04 DELETEBYAGE(30))

Data set retirement of a migration level 1 volume

In this example, data set retirement is requested for the data sets on a migration level 1 volume that have not been referred to for 45 days and that have a current backup version.

   MIGRATE VOLUME(ML1003 DELETEIFBACKEDUP(45))
