RELATED IDEAS

Improved usability for data set commander batch wizard - choosing utility for the end user

When using the option to copy, the user sees the following utilities
1 COPY copy members from one or more partitioned libraries
2 COPYMOD copy program object members with reblocking
3 COPYGRP copy member groups (primary and aliases) from one library
4 COPYGROUP copy member groups (primary and aliases) from one library
5 COPYSEQ copy members from one library into a sequential file
6 MOVE copy members and remove from input library
7 MOVEGRP copy member groups and remove from input library

The COPY and MOVE are very similar, but the end user may not know which utility to choose. A panel driven process can be used to ask questions regarding the functions required, and review the data set allocation attributes to determine the appropriate utility to generate.

    We have been able to provide an update for this enhancement. The DFSMS team has produced a fix - APAR OA61930. With this fix available, we have been able to release an update for this enhancement and delivered in Data Set Commander (DSC) 9.1 APAR OA61286 (PTF UJ06709). Install the DFSMS fix and the DSC fix.

    Based on our current plans and priorities it is not likely that this will be implemented in the next 12 months and so it is being declined at this point. The requirement will be kept in the RFE system and might be reassessed in the future. You also have an opportunity to resubmit in twelve months time if you wish it to be reconsidered then. There are dependencies against DFSMS.
