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.
Local fix
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.
