Resolution
The IBM "ARCGIVER" Interface, named after the module that programs call, provides a means to talk to DFSMShsm. With this interface, you can request DFHSM to Backup, Migrate, Recall, or Recover your data sets, or to execute DFHSM commands. This interface provides programs the ability to separate data set allocation or catalog management from the recall of an archived or migrated data set. It also allows the program to request asynchronous processing so that it can do other work while the request is being executed. The use and coding of the ARCH macros are described in the IBM manual "DFSMShsm Managing Your Own Data." The expansion of these macros include a LINK to the ARCGIVER module. ARCGIVER then builds a MWE (Management Work Element) from the parameters passed to it and in turn, passes that MWE to DFHSM orDisk™ Backup and Restore by issuing an SVC 109 with the address of the MWE as a parameter. The storage management product then schedules the process requested.
