AUTODS filter list parameters

The AUTODS FLST/RLST statements select the data sets to be acted on in the solution.

Data set attributes can be monitored as criteria to include or exclude the data set from the solution. The following table describes the filter list parameters for the AUTODS function. For a complete description of each parameter, see Reference for BMC AMI Storage products.

This indicator is also known as System Determined Blocksize and typically allocates a blocksize that uses the space on the device most efficiently. N indicates that the data set is not allocated with System Determined Blocksizing and must be manually reblocked when moved from one device geometry to another.

AD_TRKSFB>nnnnnnnnnn

AD_VOLSQ=sequenceNumber

Indicates the sequence number of the data set. This field always contains a 1 when the data set is not a multivolume data set. When the data set is multivolume, you can use this field to inspect the various pieces of the data set, because the AUTODS record exists for each piece of the data set on each volume.

For multivolume data sets, an additional AUTODS record with an AD_VOLSQ value of 0 is created to represent the accumulation of all of the distinct pieces of the data set. You can use this sequence-zero data set record to create automation on the total percentage used or on the total of any other field.

Important

Unpredictable results can occur if the same data set name is used on multiple cataloged data sets, where the data sets reside on different volumes and are in different catalogs. This same situation can also arise if the VTOC Scan master collection data set is shared between systems with different catalogs. In these situations the sequence-zero data set might not represent the correct totals for the data set.

AD_VSAMCOMP=I | D

indicates whether the data set is the data or index component of a VSAM cluster

AD_VSNVS=N | V

Specifies the data set category:

  • N = only non-VSAM data sets

  • V = only VSAM data sets

Specifies the number of working days (0-2147483647) since the data set was last referenced. Working days are defined in the BMC AMI Storage calendar member SMSCALSxx. If SMSCALSxx is not used or function HSMMCCNV is not active, these days are not adjusted and this keyword value will be equal to AD_DAYS keyword value.

This number is calculated by subtracting the last reference date from the current date and adjusting the number according to the SMSCALSxx calendar.

AD_WCDAY=nnnnn Specifies the number of working days since the data set was created (0-99999)

AD_XDATE=xxxxxxxxxx

Specifies the expiration date for the data set in yyyy/mm/dd format

AUTOLEV0 indicates that multiple levels are not being used. AUTOLEV1 indicates the first level of a multiple-level request. For multilevel automation, this specification must be used in this FLST/RLST member or must be contained within event text of any issued event and then referenced in the BMC AMI Ops Automation Rule that looks for the event.

DSNn=xxxxxxxx

Specifies or contains a data set name qualifier

You can use BMC AMI Storage name masking for filter list entries.

LLQ=xxxxxxxx

Specifies or contains the low-level qualifier of a data set name

You can use BMC AMI Storage name masking for filter list entries.

SOLUTION=xxxxxxxx
