DFSMShsm small-data-set-packing data set facility z/OS DFSMShsm Implementation and Customization Guide SC23-6869-01 |
|||||||
The small-data-set-packing (SDSP) data set facility of DFSMShsm allows DFSMShsm to migrate small user data sets from level-0 volumes and to store them as records on level-1 migration volumes where the records of several data sets can share the same track. Small user data sets are stored in SDSP data sets on level-1 migration volumes. If a data set is eligible to be migrated to an SDSP data set, DFSMShsm selects a migration level-1 volume containing a non-full SDSP data set. If no migration level-1 volumes contain a usable SDSP data set, the data set migrates as a separate data set. If the data set is ineligible for migration to an SDSP data set, it migrates as a data set. SDSP data sets are allocated only on migration level-1 volumes. Each migration level-1 volume can contain only one SDSP data set. Figure 1 illustrates how small-data-set-packing data
sets save space on level-1 migration volumes. SDSP data sets offer
the following advantages:
