Issue/Introduction

Instructions for speeding up IEFBR14 with DISP=(?????,DELETE) processing by uncataloging an archived data set, instead of restoring it by DMSAR and then uncataloging it.

Resolution

The following IBM instructions to be followed for Disk™ Backup and Restore not to start a DMSAR for a data set cataloged to ARCIVE when using IEFBR14 with DISP=(?????,DELETE), instead the data set will be uncataloged from ARCIVE:

  1. Specify IEFBR14_DELMIGDS(NORECALL) in ALLOCxx of SYS1.PARMLIB

    OR

  2. Issue SETALLOC SYSTEM,IEFBR14_DELMIGDS=NORECALL from SDSF SYSLOG PANNEL 

    This will speed up job processing and save CPU cycles.

Note: The DSNINDEX record will continue to be processed by normal IXMAINT processing rules.
