Archive Dataset Group table

Archive dataset group

All archive datasets created for one archive pool during one archive run are marked internally with the same unique token. You can use the line command A (Archive dataset group) in front of a dataset to display all datasets that have the same token.

Navigation

To display all datasets of an archive dataset group:

1. From the Primary Selection Menu, choose option A.2.
2. Type selection criteria in the displayed panel and press ENTER.
3. Enter line command A in front of the archive dataset.

Alternative navigation

• Option A.3 (VOLUMES), then line command A in Archive Volume table, then line command A in Archive Datasets table
• Option A.4 (DEVICES), then line command V in Archive Device Definitions table, then line command A in Archive Volume table, then line command A in Archive Datasets table

Example

The two archive subpools DASD90 and TAPE365 have been defined for the archive pool POOL1. The archive run on February 1, 2019, creates these two archive datasets for POOL1:

• The dataset BETA97.TAPE365.E19032.C001 for subpool TAPE365
• The datasets BETA97.DASD90.E19032.C001 and BETA97.DASD90.E19032.C002 for subpool DASD90

These three datasets get the same unique token to mark them as belonging together as members of the same archive dataset group. When you enter the line command A in front of any one of these datasets, the three datasets are displayed in the Archive Dataset Group table.
