Specifying commands that define your DFSMShsm environment

You can specify SETSYS commands in the ARCCMDxx member to define your site’s DFSMShsm environment. The command options are described along with the reasons for choosing a command.

The starter set creates a basic (and somewhat generic) DFSMShsm environment. If you choose not to begin with the starter set or you want to expand or customize the starter set functions, the information you need is in this section.

Regardless of the DFSMShsm functions you choose to implement, you must establish the DFSMShsm environment for those functions. Your site’s DFSMShsm environment is established when you perform the following tasks:

Defining the DFSMShsm startup environment
Defining storage administrators to DFSMShsm
Defining the DFSMShsm MVS environment
Defining the DFSMShsm security environment for DFSMShsm-owned data sets
Defining data formats for DFSMShsm operations
Defining DFSMShsm reporting and monitoring
Defining the tape environment
Defining the installation exits that DFSMShsm invokes
Controlling DFSMShsm control data set recoverability
Defining migration level 1 volumes to DFSMShsm
Defining the common recall queue environment
Defining common SETSYS commands
