AUTOPROGRESS: Displaying an indication of volumes to be processed

Explanation: AUTOPROGRESS is an optional parameter you can specify to request information about the number of volumes to be processed. You can get an indication of the number of volumes that have not been processed by an automatic function and the total number of volumes that are eligible for processing by an automatic function. For each automatic function that is processing DFSMShsm-managed volumes on the host where the QUERY AUTOPROGRESS command is issued, the following is reported:
When QUERY AUTOPROGRESS is used, DFSMShsm displays the information for each automatic function currently processing DFSMShsm-managed volumes. If no automatic functions are processing, DFSMShsm indicates this with message ARC0246I.
Note:
  1. The count of volumes that remain to be processed may not reflect another processing unit’s activity. A volume that is eligible for processing by multiple-DFSMShsm-hosts may have been processed in a DFSMShsm host other than the one where the QUERY AUTOPROGRESS command was issued. If the DFSMShsm host running the QUERY AUTOPROGRESS command has not detected that another DFSMShsm host has processed a volume, that volume is included in the count of volumes that have not been processed.
  2. A volume is considered eligible if it is defined (via the Storage Group for SMS-managed volumes or the ADDVOL command for non-SMS-managed volumes) as being eligible to be processed by this DFSMShsm host for the active function. For Interval Migration, eligible volumes are only the ones that are above their associated threshold level.
  3. A volume is considered not processed when both the following conditions are true:
    • The volume is not currently being processed by the active function.
    • The minimum time has elapsed since the last time the associated automatic function processed the volume.

Defaults: None.
