Naming conventions for backed up data sets
Important: The content in this section was created for and applies to the original persistent data store, referred to as PDS V1. A new PDS version (referred to as PDS V2) now exists. PDS V1 will eventually be deprecated.
The maintenance facility uses the following format to name the data sets it creates when it backs up data:
rhilev.rte.Bnnnnnnnwhere:
- rhilev is the high-level qualifier of all data sets in the persistent data store, as you specified during configuration
- rte is the mid-level qualifier of all data sets in the persistent data store, as you specified during configuration
- B is a required character
- nnnnnnn is a sequential number
