Application mainframe data to the cloud

Cloud data sets (CDS) allows to seamlessly replace tape related workload and redirect it to cloud object storage. For activation instructions, see Activating-Cloud-Data-Sets.

As seen in the sample below using the default UNIT=CLOUD described in the activation section allows us to easily redirect the required workload.

//M9DMCDS   JOB 'ACCT#',REGION=4M,NOTIFY=&SYSUID  
//COPY     EXEC PGM=IEBGENER                      
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*                            
//SYSIN    DD DUMMY                               
//SYSUT1   DD DISP=SHR,DSN=M9.DEMO.PS             
//SYSUT2   DD DISP=(NEW,CATLG,DELETE),            
// UNIT=CLOUD,                                    
// DSN=M9.DEMO.CDS.PS

The job output will provide more information about the actions that were taken by the system and were intercepted and redirected to the cloud the CDS.

For example the ZM9CD11I and ZM9CD22I for the open and close the new CDS.

After the creation a new Cloud Data Set entry will be created in the resources page in the BMC AMI Cloud web UI. For example:
