<strong>BrightStor</strong> <strong>CA</strong>-1 Product Documentation ChangePDC# QI44641DATE: September 25, 2003RELEASE: 5.2ENVIRONMENT: MVSHYPER: NoSUBJECT: Enhancement of TMSCYCLE to support ABARS GDGsDESCRIPTION/DISCUSSION:This Product Documentation Change (PDC) describes a change to utility TMSCYCLE introduced by APARQO44640. The APAR enables Cycle Control retention for ABARS pseudo GDG data set names ending in".CnnVnnnn".When ABARS GDGs get an EXPDT of CYCLE/ccc assigned, and the <strong>CA</strong>-1 system option ADGDG is set toYES, TMSCYCLE now handles the ABARS files like regular GDG data sets and disregards the versionspecificsuffix when building cycles. All generations of one ABARS GDG are now treated as cycles of onedata set, rather than as individual data sets.Following are documentation changes associated with this enhancement.RESOLUTION:<strong>CA</strong>-1 5.2 Utilities and Reports Reference Guide1.25 TMSCYCLE - Removing <strong>Tape</strong>s from Cycle ControlTMSCYCLE selects all TMC records with an EXPDT subject to Cycle Control (CYCLE/ccc in controlstatements and online interfaces, or LABEL=EXPDT=99ccc in JCL), to determine if any volumesassociated with the data set should be removed from Cycle Control. TMSCYCLE retention is determinedby the File 1 EXPDT only.To remove volumes from Cycle Control, TMSCYCLE updates the expiration date in the TMC to the currentdate or to the current date plus the number of days defined in the TMOOPTxx member of <strong>CA</strong>I.PPOPTION(RC parameter). TMSCYCLE does not consider the generation/version number for GDG data sets.Therefore, GDGs under Cycle Control may expire prior to meeting the GDG limit. If Cycle Control is usedfor ABARS pseudo GDG data sets (ending in ".CnnVnnnn"), system option ADGDG should be set to YES.This allows the pseudo GDGs to be treated the same way as regular GDG data sets.<strong>CA</strong>-1 5.2 Systems Programmer Guide1.6.3.8 ABARS Pseudo GDGs (Options Checklist #31)The ADGDG parameter allows pseudo GDGs created by the ABARS product to be handled the same wayas true GDGs during the vaulting process and during calculation of Cycle Control retention.PDC# QI44641
