How to set up TMOEDM00 with multiple entries for one product.

 

 

Resolution

When setting up the TMOEDM00 entries for a product that creates different data set names you should always use the same EDMID name for all of the entries for the one product. CA 1 uses this name to help verify that the correct EDM is using only the tapes that belong to it.

An example would be:

 

 EDM=HSM1,DSN=*.MIGTAPE.-,PGM=ARCCTL       
 EDM=HSM1,DSN=*.DUMP.-,PGM=ARCCTL 
 EDM=HSM1,DSN=*.BACKTAPE.-,PGM=ARCCTL
 EDM=HSM1,DSN=*.HMIGTAPE.-,PGM=ARC*
 EDM=HSM1,DSN=*.DMP.-,PGM=ARCCTL
 EDM=HSM1,DSN=*.COPY.-,PGM=ARCCTL

 

In the case of HSM it has the ability to use the copy of the HMIGTAPE for a restore if the primary tape is bad or not available. If they are assigned different EDMIDs, when you use the copy it will fail with an IEFTMS50 1XX-08 abend. If the EDMIDs are the same it will prevent this abend.

This is true for all EDMs that create multiple data set names that should be EDM controlled.
