There are commercially available tools to do that - but expensive
I suggest you talk to your storage team is space is a problem |

Hello,
Is there some reason you mention SMF?
Has your management agreed to permit console displays? On most systems it is not permitted for some program to issue console messages.
What would the console operator do if some volume was 90% full?
Most dasd is defined in pools and a particular volume is not an issue.
If you explain what you really want to do, we may be able to offer suggestions. |

Hi,
Thanks for the reply, I want to know that if there is a way to send an alert to Consol directly from SFM..stating that a perticular Volume is over 90% full. I know if I write a Rexx or JCL and schedule it through Control M and get a report and then using WTOC i can send msg.. but I want to know if I can do it directly from SMF..and how to do it....so that I don't need to write a JCL or REXX and configure SMF in such a way that it throws alerts itself to consol....Thanks |

Don't think you can do this.
I had to write my own pgm to run as a started task that sleeps for 15 minutes and then examines certain DASD volumes. When one is xx% full, I issue a command to start an archive task. |

Hi
Thanks for the answers. Bill can you please let me know the way you did..a sample jcl will be helpful...Expat I am not sure of interval migration...actually I am not a Storage guy....my mngr wants me to learn this and gave me this task....and I am kind of lost here....can you please give me a sample jcl which can check the volumes and if the volume is filled above 90% or reaches 90% it automatically issue a command to start an archive task. or may be throws a msg on consol using some command....if not consol may be to a perticular user.....thanks... |

If your shop uses HSM, you can define a storage pool (collection of volumes) to be processed by HSM at regular intervals, the default is every hour.
If the volumes are above the the high usage threshhold defined into SMS, then HSM will attempt to migrate datasets to reduce the usage.
If you have not got HSM, then maybe if you have another DLM product installed, that can do the same thing. |

Hi Expat,
Thanks for the reply..Do you have some sample JCL or steps to do that...I am not storage guy..I do Security and CICS work...and I guess HSM is there on our shop... |

Interval migration is not a batch process, everything is cobntrolled by the SMS definitions which is the responsibility of your storage team.
Usually, because of the overhead of IM processing, it is restriced to a small STORGRP, maybe up to 50 volumes maximum. |

I suspect that if your system is using SMS, someone is responsible for it.
It would be good to work with "them" about implementing what you want. |

| Well Expact..the solution you gave..solves most of the part...however my option of sending msg to consol is still not solved..so I guess I need to go with Bill's solution of writing a REXX or JCL and schedulling it twice a day and through msg to consol if some volume is about 90%....and I need your help bill...if you can give me that sample JCL or REXX..or if someone can help me with this..please.... |

My code is an Assembler program that uses system macros to total the tracks used and then uses macro MGCR to issue the "S tasknnn" command. It's not a REXX that I can share.
Does SMS will automatically run the archive? Why do you still need a console message? |

Now everything is working fine but I am not able to get few things which the above program should give....
Show volume free space statistics

* Show the number of volumes with free space > 30%
RANGE FROM(OUTDD1) ON(40,1,BI) HIGHER(30)
AND

* Create a temporary data set that contains:
* - Type 'C' capacity planning records,

DCOLLECT is an IDCAMS command which gives you volume information. You probably want a job somewhat like this that creates your DCOLLECT dataset.
| Code: |
//IDCAMS EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
//SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=*
//REPORT DD SYSOUT=*
DCOLLECT OUTFILE(REPORT) VOLUMES(SYS159)
