In large environments with aggressive data migration policies, errors and failures are particularly labor-intensive to resolve and require technicians to have in-depth knowledge of DFSMShsm records, pointers, chains and DFSMShsm FIXCDS commands.

To help you resolve structural and logical discrepancies that can prevent migrated data from being recalled or backup data from being restored, Tivoli Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm evaluates migration control data sets (MCDS), backup control data sets (BCDS) and offline control data sets (OCDS). It also correlates entries with the integrated catalog facility (ICF) catalog environment to help maintain consistency.
