VOLUME: Specifying the space management attribute for the eligible data sets on a volume

Explanation: VOLUME(volser1) is the required parameter to specify migration for eligible data sets on one volume. Information for any migration is printed in the migration activity log.

For volser1, substitute the serial number of the level 0 volume from which you want to migrate or delete eligible data sets. Eligibility for processing is determined by each data set’s management class attributes.

If the MIGRATE command is specified with only the VOLUME parameter, eligibility for migration is determined by the data set’s management class attributes. Data sets will be processed until the low threshold has been met, regardless of whether there are more data sets eligible to be migrated.

When the MIGRATE command is issued for an SMS-managed volume, that volume is considered DFSMShsm-managed. DFSMShsm maintains control records for the volume until a DELVOL command is issued against it.

Defaults: None.

Note: The management class attribute COMMAND-OR-AUTO-MIGRATE=BOTH must be specified for an SMS-managed data set to be eligible for migration by a VOLUME command.
