Kurs informasjon: DFSMSrmm Implementation

This course is designed to teach the student how to implement the Removable Media Manager (DFSMSrmm) functional component of DFSMS and optional feature of z/OS. DFSMSrmm provides life cycle management of tape data which includes scheduling of tape volumes to and from storage locations (vaults).

Those attending this course should understand basic z/OS allocation and sequential processing such as can be obtained in Storage Management Fundamentals (SS06). The student should also be able to code z/OS job control language statements (JCL) for tape data sets. Knowledge of JCL may be obtained by attending JCL and Utilities (ES07).
