Transition DB2 data management class attributes

For DB2 data sets that need to remain online, but need to be stored on a less expensive storage media after a certain time period, the DB2 transition (DB2TRANS) management class can been defined. DB2 data sets that use this management class receive the following processing:
  • The data sets never migrate.
  • The data sets transition after 90 days from creation.
  • The data sets are expected to be open during primary space management processing, so the DB2 exit will be invoked.
  • To minimize the duration of the transition, fast replication will be preferred.
  • The data sets expire after 7 years.

These are the attributes for DB2TRANS:
