MIGRATIONLEVEL1: Specifying migration of data sets from level 1 to level 2 volumes

Note: Required vs. Optional: The following explanation refers to the MIGRATIONLEVEL1 required parameter. For the explanation of the MIGRATIONLEVEL1 optional parameter see MIGRATIONLEVEL1: Specifying migration of a data set directly to appropriate level of hierarchy.

Explanation: MIGRATIONLEVEL1 is the required parameter to migrate eligible data sets from all migration level 1 volumes to migration level 2 volumes.

When you specify MIGRATIONLEVEL1 for non-SMS-managed data sets, two conditions apply:
  • If you also specify DAYS(days), DFSMShsm migrates non-SMS-managed data sets based on the days value.
  • If you do not specify DAYS(days), DFSMShsm migrates non-SMS-managed data sets based on the current DFSMShsm value for the MIGRATIONLEVEL1DAYS parameter of the SETSYS command.
Defaults: None.
Note:
  1. If you specify this parameter in a direct-to-tape environment, the command fails.
  2. If you specify this parameter when level 1 to level 2 migration of automatic secondary space management is run, the command fails.
