Webinar Topic: Mysteries of the Management Class

May 2021 marked the third of the DTS continuing 'SMS Mysteries' series. In it, we discussed the Management Class, the construct that describes the backup, recovery, and availability needs of a dataset, and its place in the DFSMS storage management universe.

In constrast to other constructs, Management Class comes into play after datasets are allocated, rather than before. The eight pages of Management Class attributes describe where and how long a dataset 'lives', and are closely related to other storage management components, including OAM, disk storage products such as FDRABR and DFSMShsm, and DFSMSrmm tape management.
