DFSMShsm retrieval of management classes
If you are changing the definitions of management classes, you
must know when the new definitions will take effect. When DFSMShsm
begins automatic availability management or availability management
from a volume command, it retrieves a list of all currently defined
management classes before it begins processing unless volume-type
processing is operating or has just completed. Volume-type processing
consists of the following functions:
- Automatic backup
- BACKVOL command
If volume-type processing is in progress or has just been completed when a new volume-type processing is to begin, DFSMShsm uses the list of management classes that exists from the prior processing. If you are changing the management classes, DFSMShsm must complete its volume-type processing before you can expect the changes in the management classes to become effective.
