Migrate data sets immediately without disrupting applications
Accelerate your data set migration
IBM z/OS Data Set Mobility Facility (zDMF) is a non-disruptive data migration solution that moves critical, allocated mainframe data sets almost immediately. It reduces the complexity of managing large migrations and helps ensure that applications remain online and available.
Migrate data sets across storage from different vendors and disk capacities without disrupting applications.
Complete IBM DB2 data migrations to help reclaim and redeploy DB2 storage.
Avoid manual data set-level migrations, so applications can remain online.
Perform data set migrations from small-capacity volumes to large-capacity volumes.
Features
Reduce data conversion time and application outages. IBM z/OS® Data Set Mobility Facility (zDMF) helps to move data with greater flexibility, efficiency and reliability at a lower cost.
zDMF frees you from manual data set migration and potentially speeds the deployment of new storage technology. It does this by supporting non-disruptive data-set migrations in multivendor environments.
zDMF can complete a DB2 data migration without disrupting applications. You can immediately reclaim hundreds of UCBs and use them to support new business initiatives.
zDMF helps you either schedule a DIVERT command or set a “divert when ready” option. This capability can shorten migration time, circumvent the need for additional storage and enable more efficiency through automation.
