This section covers the following topics:
Modifying the Expiration Date of a Report in an Archive Dataset
Resetting the Expiration Date of a Report in an Archive Dataset
For further information about Archiving, see the sections Automatic Archiving Defaults and Start Archiving Task.
Every time reports are archived to a tape, a dataset is created on the tape volume containing all the archived reports. This is called an archive dataset.
For each archive dataset, an entry is made on the Entire Output Management archive catalog, which contains control information regarding each archive process.
This information includes the date and time of the operation, the volser(s) on which the archive dataset has been catalogued, and an indication of whether the dataset still contains reports which must remain on archive.
When the reports contained in an archive dataset are no longer required, a message is displayed to the right of the dataset indicating that the volsers can be reused for other purposes.
To display the list of datasets which have been archived:
Enter 9 in the command line of the Main
Menu.
The Archive Datasets screen is displayed:

The datasets are listed in alphabetical order.
The information displayed is spread over four screens. By repeatedly pressing PF11, you can display the information on the subsequent screens.
| Code | Function |
|---|---|
| CD | Mark the dataset for condensing. |
| DE | Delete the dataset from archive. Uncatalogs this dataset. |
| MV | Modify the volser of an archive dataset. |
| RN | Rename an archive dataset. |
| RP | List the reports archived on this dataset. |
| VO | List the volsers on which this dataset resides. |
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Dataset | The archived dataset name. |
| NVol | The number of tape volumes the dataset occupies. |
| NumRp | The number of archived reports contained on the dataset. |
| Created | The date and time the dataset was created. |
| Msg | When all reports archived on the dataset are no longer required and have been purged, the message "Delete" appears, advising you that the dataset can be uncataloged and the volsers reused. |
| Second Screen: | |
| LogExpD |
Logical Expiration Date. This is the date until which the dataset is to be kept. This can differ from the Physical Expiration Date (see below), if the expiration date of one or more active reports is extended or shortened after archiving. If the Logical Expiration Date is later than the Physical Expiration Date, the line with the archive dataset is highlighted. Run a condense to synchronize the two dates. |
| PhysExpD | Physical Expiration Date. This is the date until which the tape is to be kept and corresponds to the date supplied on the tape with the EXPDT parameter. |
| Third Screen: | |
| # Expired | The number of expired reports. This is calculated by subtracting the number of reports still active on this dataset from the number of reports originally archived. This number will not be displayed for old archive datasets. |
| Cdns | This shows whether this archive is output from a condense or not. |
| Fourth Screen: | |
| Arc Type | Displays the archive type name, standard or user-defined. |
| Num | Internally allocated number for archive type. |
To condense an archive dataset:
To mark an archive dataset for condensing, enter the line command
CD on the Archive Datasets screen next to the
dataset(s) to be condensed.

To start the condense task, enter the direct command
START CONDENSE in the command line of any screen
(see START command in
the Commands documentation), or select option 9 on the
System Administration Menu (see the section
Start Condense
Task).
Note:
The job skeleton used for condensing has to be saved in library
SYSNOMU and must be named JCDNSKEL.
An archive dataset can only be deleted when it contains no reports.
To delete an archive dataset:
On the Archive Datasets screen, enter the line command
DE next to the dataset you want to delete.
A window is diplayed asking you to confirm the deletion.
To do so, enter DELETE, and also specify whether or not the dataset is to be uncatalogued.
A message confirms the deletion.
To display the list of volsers spanned by an archive dataset:
On the Archive Datasets screen, enter the line command
VO next to the appropriate dataset.
A window with a list of the volsers is displayed.
This function renames the selected archive dataset and updates all active reports contained on it so that they point to the new dataset. Summary information on the results of this function is written to the Monitor log.
To rename an archive dataset:
On the Archive Datasets screen, enter the line command
RN next to the dataset you want to rename.
The Rename Archive Dataset screen is displayed. It contains the following fields:
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| From dataset name | The old name of the dataset. |
| To dataset name | Here you specify the new name of the dataset. |
| Log modifications of Reports |
This field determines whether or not messages about changed reports of archive dataset are written to the monitor log:
|
| Adabas calls between screen writes | The number of records to be updated between screen writes. The default value is 1000. |
| Adabas updates between End Transactions | The number of records to be updated between End-of-Transaction commands. The default value is 30. |
Enter the new dataset name, and press PF5 to perform the update.
This function is used to change the volser of an archive dataset in and updates all active reports contained on it so that they point to the new volser.
This function can only be used for single-volume datasets. For multi-volume datasets, you condense the archive dataset to a new one; this which will also update the volsers.
To modify the volser of an archive dataset:
On the Archive Datasets screen, enter the line command
MV next to the desired dataset.
A screen containing the following fields is displayed:
| Field | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Archive dataset | The name of the dataset whose volser is to be modified. |
