What's new
IBM® Transparent Data Migration Facility for z/OS® introduces the following new functions and technical updates.
Version 6.1
Changed and new information is marked in the PDF by a vertical bar (|) to the left of the change.
| Function | Description |
|---|---|
| Migration Planning Assistant | TDMF includes a collection of programs and reports to automate and facilitate many aspects of TDMF migration planning, execution, and monitoring. |
| TDMF Global Controller | The TDMF Global Controller allows for grouping of
multiple master sessions into a single TDMF global
session. See GTDGLBC (@GBLTDM) - TDMF Global Controller, SESSION parameters, Option 1 - Current sessions: monitor progress, and Option 2 - Current sessions: user interaction and status. |
| Limits for REFRESH | The new SESSION option REFRESHMaximum limits the number of volumes that can
concurrently enter the refresh 2 or higher phase to conserve replication
resources. See REFRESHMaximum, REFMAXimum, Option 1 - Current sessions: monitor progress, Option 2 - Current sessions: user interaction and status, and User interaction and status - information. |
| Migration of volumes containing local page data sets | This version of TDMF supports migration of volumes containing local page data sets. |
| GDPS controlling systems | This version of TDMF eliminates the requirement for a TDMF Master or Agent system to be specified on the SESSION control statement for GDPS systems (including controlling systems) where migration volumes are offline. |
| HyperSwap requirements | TDMF now supports multiple concurrent sessions containing HyperSwap volumes. |
| Parameter and option default and range updates | Some parameter and option defaults or ranges are changed to accommodate user preferences: |
| Other updates to the documentation | Operating system requirements previously located in the IBM Transparent Data Migration Facility (TDMF) for z/OS and IBM z/OS Data Set Mobility Facility (zDMF) Operating System Support Matrices have been moved to Operating system requirements. |
