Index status of Volume

Hi,

Could you please let me know how to find the INDEX STATUS (Enable/Disable) of specific DASD volume thru batch job.
We can see the INDEX STATUS of volume in ISMF but i want to know how we get it from the job.

Thanks,
Ram

As a monitoring purpose, We have to generate a report about index status for some of volumes across different storage groups.

I wonder why so many people and storage supporters are not aware of

I always use DCOLLECT and REXX in batch

hi Expat,

I am new to storage. Could you please explain how we get volume information from DCOLLECT output.

Regards,
Ram

We use IDCAMS DCOLLECT to get the records, very well documented in the manual, and use REXX to interpret the records, V or VL as I can not recall at the moment, and from those records the index status is found.

I would usually post code that I have already, but as I am working in a non mainframe environment at the moment do not have access to my archives.

If you have FDR it can provide you with a formatted report without having to post-process anything. It can also selectively report just volumes with a particular VTOCIX status. Example below scans a Storgrp to find volumes with either disabled VTOCIX's or no VTOCIX

//FDREPORT EXEC PGM=FDREPORT,REGION=128M
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=0
//SYSOUT DD SYSOUT=0
//SYSUDUMP DD SYSOUT=0
//ABRMAP DD SYSOUT=*
//ABRSUM DD SYSOUT=0
//SORTLIB DD DSN=SYS1.SORTLIB,DISP=SHR
//SYSIN DD *
REPORT FIELD=(VLVOLSER,VLINDSTA,VLUNIT,VLDEVTYP)
XS STORGRP=sgname*,VLINDSTA.EQ.(NONE,YES)
PRINT SUM=NO,SORT=NO,DATATYPE=VOLDATA,RPTYPE=TABLE,
ENABLE=FASTPATH,SUMDEVICE=UNIQUE,BYTEFORMAT=MEGA

ps: Run the above JCL with sysin card XHELP ALL to print the help manual.
