20140040578 | MANAGING DATA SET VOLUME TABLE OF CONTENTS - For managing a data set volume table of contents, a management module creates a data set volume table of contents (DSVTOC) for a data set residing on a volume. The DSVTOC resides in a virtual storage access method (VSAM) system and includes a DSVTOC index, DSVTOC cluster data, and DSVTOC data for the data set. A copy module maintains a copy of the DSVTOC on the volume. | 02-06-2014 |
20140052730 | MANAGEMENT OF DATA GROUPS AND DATA SETS - Embodiments of the present invention provide a system, method, and program product for managing data sets. According to one aspect of the present invention, a data group of one or more related data sets is reorganized. Utilizing one or more specified criteria, data sets that should be cataloged in the data group are identified and cataloged in the data group such that they are arranged in a chronological order and are named with appropriate generation numbers. | 02-20-2014 |
20140330935 | MANAGING FILE TRANSFER COMMANDS - A method of and system for managing file transfer commands to a remote system is disclosed. The method and system may include establishing a first defined file transfer command having a first group identifier. The first defined file transfer command may be configured to pull data from the remote system. The method and system may include establishing a second defined file transfer command having a second group identifier. The second defined file transfer command may be configured to at least one of delete data of the remote system and push data to the remote system. The method and system may include performing the first defined file transfer command after performing the second defined file transfer command when the first group identifier and the second group identifier match. | 11-06-2014 |
20140351655 | MANAGING DIAGNOSTIC INFORMATION - A method of and system for managing diagnostic information is disclosed. The method and system may include creating a data space in volatile memory. The data space may be configured to collect a selected diagnostic information. The selected diagnostic information may include a first diagnostic information from a first source and a second diagnostic information from a second source. The method and system may include collecting in the data space the selected diagnostic information. The method and system may include releasing from the data space at least a portion of the selected diagnostic information in response to a triggering event. | 11-27-2014 |
20150058365 | MANAGING A DATA SET - A method of and system for managing a data set of a storage facility is disclosed. The data set may be a sequential-access data set. The method and system may include structuring the sequential-access data set to have a first group-of-records configured for adding a second group-of-records to the sequential-access data set. The method and system add a second group-of-records to the sequential-access data set. The method and system merge the second group-of-records with the first group-of-records in response to a triggering event. The method and system establish, in response to merging the second group-of-records with the first group-of-records, a marker configured to indicate the first and second group-of-records, as merged, is sorted. | 02-26-2015 |

20100185589 | DISASTER RECOVERY DATA SYNC - Various embodiments for failure recovery in a computing environment following a data restoration are provided. A catalog locate is performed for each of a plurality of data sets on a base catalog structure (BCS), identifying a plurality of BCS entries. If a first BCS entry is cataloged incorrectly, the first BCS entry is designated to be re-cataloged. The plurality of BCS entries is compared with a plurality of volume table of contents and a plurality of VSAM volume data set (VTOC/VVDS) entries. If a second BCS entry found in the plurality of BCS entries is not found in the plurality of VTOC/VVDS entries, and the second BCS entry indicates that a data set associated with the second BCS entry is located on a volume, an attempt is made to vary on the volume. If the volume cannot be varied on, a request is created to restore the volume. | 07-22-2010 |
20100185829 | EXTENT CONSOLIDATION AND STORAGE GROUP ALLOCATION - Data is added to a data set to cause a growth in size of the data set, wherein the data set belongs to a storage group, and wherein the data set is comprised of extents. The data set is included into a new storage group, in response to determining that the growth in the size of the data set has caused a predetermined threshold for a size limit of the storage group to be exceeded. The extents of the data set are restructured to satisfy a predetermined condition on the extents of the data set, in response to determining that the growth in the size of the data set has caused the predetermined condition on the extents included in the data set to be not satisfied. | 07-22-2010 |
20100293354 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR MINIMIZING DATA STORAGE MEDIA FRAGMENTATION - A method of minimizing data storage medium fragmentation, wherein the method provides a data storage library comprising (N) data storage media, wherein (N) is greater than or equal to 1. The method establishes a threshold fragmentation index, and determines, for each value of (i), an actual fragmentation index for an (i)th data storage medium, wherein (i) is greater than or equal to 1 and less than or equal to (N). The method receives a data set from a host computer in communication with the data storage library, and writes the data set to an (i)th data storage medium based upon an (i)th actual fragmentation index. | 11-18-2010 |
20110307745 | UPDATING CLASS ASSIGNMENTS FOR DATA SETS DURING A RECALL OPERATION - Provided are a computer program product, system and method for updating class assignments for data sets during a recall operation in a storage environment having a plurality of storage devices. Information on a data set is processed to determine at least one current attribute of the data set. A determination is made as to whether the determined at least one current attribute satisfies a criteria. Indication is made in a catalog to change a class associated with the data set in response to determining that the at least one current attribute satisfies the criteria, wherein the class is used to determine how to manage the data set. The data set is migrated from a first storage to a second storage. A recall operation is initiated to recall the data set from the second storage. In response to the recall operation and determining that the catalog indicates to change the class associated with the data set, the catalog is processed to determine whether to change the class for the data set from a first class to a second class and a management operation is performed on the data set to conform the data set to the second class when recalling the data set. | 12-15-2011 |
