DASD data sets listed with this optional keyword have their space
allocated and are cataloged at the aggregate recovery site as part
of an aggregate recovery. These data sets are not written
to the data file.
The ALLOCATE keyword syntax is:
| Keyword |
Field |
|---|
| ALLOCATE |
(dsn..., dsnmask...) |
- ALLOCATE — Enter the whole word or
the alias AL.
- dsn..., dsnmask... — Specifies
the partially and fully qualified DASD data set names or masks to
be allocated and cataloged at the aggregate recovery site as part
of an aggregate recovery. Data sets in the ALLOCATE list must not
be in the INCLUDE or ACCOMPANY lists, and must be cataloged DASD data
sets. The DASD data sets must conform to one of the following data
set organization types:
- Physical sequential (PS)
- Partitioned organization (PO)
- Direct access (DA)
- Virtual storage access method (VSAM)
- Key sequenced data sets
- Linear data sets
- Relative record data sets
- Entry sequenced data sets
- User catalog
- GDG base name
All other data set organizations are not supported.
To determine how to allocate space at ARECOVER time, DFSMShsm
recalls each migrated data set included in the ALLOCATE list.
Rule: During aggregate recovery, VSAM
data sets from the ALLOCATE list must be recovered as SMS-managed
data sets. Therefore, SMS must be active at the recovery site, and
ACS filtering must direct these data sets to SMS-managed storage.
