z/OS DFSMS

Description

DFSMS consists of one z/OS element (DFSMSdfp) and four z/OS features (DFSMSdss, DFSMShsm, DFSMSrmm, and DFSMStvs). DFSMSdfp provides storage, data, program, and device management functions. DFSMSdss is a DASD data and space management tool. DFSMShsm is a DASD storage management and productivity tool for managing low-activity and inactive data. DFSMSrmm helps you manage your removable media as one enterprise-wide library across z/OS systems that can either share DASD or have TCP/IP connectivity. DFSMStvs (Transactional VSAM Services) enables batch jobs and CICS online transactions to update shared VSAM data sets concurrently.
