APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Regular zDMF migration allows the new STORCLAS for data sets
    to be inherited from the source file.  This is useful in some
    cases.  However, Logical Copy was designed to require a target
    storage class.  It should be changed to align with regular
    migration processing.

Problem summary

  • ****************************************************************
    * USERS AFFECTED: zDMF Logical Copy users expecting SMS ACS    *
    *                 routines to modify the SMS classes if        *
    *                 necessary.                                   *
    ****************************************************************
    * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: zDMF Logical Copy would only assign     *
    *                      the SMS STORCLAS specified in the       *
    *                      TARGET STORCLAS group definition        *
    *                      parameter.                              *
    ****************************************************************
    * RECOMMENDATION: Apply the supplied PTF(s).                   *
    ****************************************************************
    The zDMF Logical Copy function will only assign the STORCLAS
    specified in the TARGET file STORCLAS parameter if specified.
    There is a need to allow the TARGET to use the same STORCLAS
    as the SOURCE file.
    

Problem conclusion

  • zDMF Logical Copy will now use the SOURCE STORCLAS when
    allocating the TARGET if no TARGET STORCLAS is specified for
    the group.
