Access Monitor data sets
The size of Access monitor data sets can vary significantly depending on the environment. If you want to retain information for a long period, a significant amount of data can be accumulated and retained. Some of this data can reside on tape, but most data is accessed in parallel, which requires the Access Monitor data sets to be on multiple tapes and to be mounted concurrently. The consolidation process can reduce the amount of data, but tailoring the configuration process to the organization's needs is required.
