Use DFHSM's enhanced AUDIT functions:
Code:
HSEND AUDIT DATASETCONTROLS(MIGRATION) NOFIX ODS(<output_dsn>)

Hello Joerg.

thank you for the above command. I could see lot of datasets are missed in the output. From the MCDS decollect report I found few datasets which don't have catalog entry but MCD record exist's in the MCDS.

hsend list dsn(TST.D7GT.DATA.DUBAI.G1510V00) MCDS term

DSN=TST.D7GT.DATA.DUBAI.G1510V00 MIGVOL=AT0418 DSO=PS SDSP=NO
LAST REF=17/05/19 MIG=17/05/20 TRKS=00000015 2K BLKS= ******* TIMES MIG= 00001
16K BLKS=0000000013 LAST MIGVOL=*NONE*
ENCRYPTION TYPE=*******
KEYLABEL=****************************************************************

No catalog entry exist's for the same.
TST.D7GT.DATA.DUBAI.G1510V00 No data set names found

Can you please tell me how these dataset's are missed in the
HSEND AUDIT DATASETCONTROLS(MIGRATION) NOFIX ODS(<output_dsn>) output.

Please advice.

if no entry exists in the catalog for a dataset in a GDG. the dataset is gone
so if the MCDS entry is missing .. that's part of the logic

When you try to AUDIT the DSN, do you see an error then?
Code:
HSEND AUDIT DSN(TST.D7GT.DATA.DUBAI.G1510V00) MCDS TERM

I would expect something like *ERR 03.

Hi Joerg,

Thank you for the quick response.

I got what you excepted.

AUD=DS DSN=TST.D7GT.DATA.DUBAI.G1510V00 ERROR TYPE= *ERR 03
DSN ON VOL=?????? CTLG VOL=-NONE- MIG VOL= AT0418 BACK VOL=-NONE-

Any particular reason why it was not shown in the below output:

AUDIT DATASETCONTROLS(MIGRATION) NOFIX ODS(PK$Z1L4.ORPHAN.MCDSREC)

On my side I get what's to be expected. Could you please check the output again for 'ERR 03' msgs?
Code:
 COMMAND ENTERED:                                                       
 AUDIT DSCTL(MIGRAT) NOFIX ODS(<MYDSN>)                                       
                                                                       
 /* ERR 03 DSN1.SHOWMVS.IPL.G0053V00 NOT CATALOGED, HAS MIGRATION COPY +
 /* HSM.HMIG.T051013.DSN1.SHOWMVS.B0177                                 
 /* ERR 03 DSN1.SHOWMVS.IPL.G0054V00 NOT CATALOGED, HAS MIGRATION COPY +
 /* HSM.HMIG.T051013.DSN1.SHOWMVS.B0075                                 
 - END OF -     ENHANCED AUDIT - LISTING -

Please, try also the Original AUDIT command. It is not recommended by IBM anymore but maybe lists at least some of your orphaned entries.
Code:
HSEND AUDIT MCDS LEVEL(TST.D7GT) FIX REPORT(ALL) ODS(<your_output_dsn>)

Instead of REPORT(ALL) you can substitute also REPORT(ERR), however results may be incomplete.

Look for the following columns:
Code:
DATA SET ON     CATALOGED     MIGRATED
  VOLUME        TO VOLUME    TO VOLUME
                                       
  ??????         -NONE-        FT4818 
  ??????         -NONE-        FS1001 
  ??????         -NONE-        FS3826 
  ??????         -NONE-        FS1888 
  ??????         MIGRAT        FT0526

Hi Joerg,

The audit command is still running and hopefully this time the missing files will also be captured.

Thank you so much for the help.

The REPORT(ALL) will produce a full listing, not only errors. That's the reason why it takes some time to complete.

Besides that, please check if you have other errors in the Control Datasets as well. I have not yet an explanation at hand why the DSCTL(MIG) did not work for you. That in general would be:
Code:
HSEND AUDIT VOLUMECONTROLS(MIGRATION) NOFIX ODS(<output_dsn>)
HSEND AUDIT VOLUMECONTROLS(BACKUP) NOFIX ODS(<output_dsn>)
HSEND AUDIT VOLUMECONTROLS(RECOVERABLE) NOFIX ODS(<output_dsn>)
HSEND AUDIT DATASETCONTROLS(MIGRATION) NOFIX ODS(<output_dsn>)
HSEND AUDIT DATASETCONTROLS(BACKUP) NOFIX ODS(<output_dsn>)

You can have MCD records remaining in the MCDS after datasets are deleted depending on the MIGRATIONCLEANUPDAYS value in the DFHSM parmlib.

This is true for MIGRATIONCLEANUPDAYS, but they would not be reported by IDCAMS DCOLLECT. Best way to find issues in the CDS are the recommended AUDIT functions.

Hi Team,

Thank you very much for all your responses.
I will check the DFHSM ARC member for MIGRATIONCLEANUPDAYS value and update it accordingly.

Regards,
Praveen

Still worth investigating errors, although it can be very time consuming. Audit errors are explained here:

Hi Team,

Is there a way to list all the backup datasets from BCDS apart from decollect report.

Here is the question I have to answer.

Number of archived datasets? Number of backup datasets?

Thank you in advance!!
