Dataset Attribute Table Enhancement

Expand the dataset attributes database to be more than a repository for the datasets on the volumes at the time of collection. Rather, it should be a combination of the datasets on the volumes plus catalog information (migrated stuff and gdg bases, etc). Taken further, information to be searched and displayed should also include details known to DFSMShsm as well.

    A status of Needs more information would be much more useful if there was some way for you to communicate via this RFE with guidance on what you are looking for.

    Currently the DADS is populated by datasets on DASD and optionally their associated catalog details. The usefulness of the DADS could be enhanced significantly by including catalog data that has no associated DASD object. For instance, in calculating the number of datasets owned by an HLQ it would be useful if this number could be expanded to include migrated data and even data on tape. Even more useful would be the ability to determine total application size for an HLQ. To do this accurately would require information from data on disk (L0), information from HSM for migrated data (ML1 & ML2) and even information from the tape manager (Tape). The DADS collection should be expanded to include data from HSM and the tape manager. With Object storage open to Z it would also be beneficial to capture data from Advanced Archive and Cloud Tape Connector as well.
