ZD&T product extended dataset type support required

We will work on a fix for '0C4' which supposed to address on the extraction issue.
Regarding on the restoring issue(during deployment), unfortunately we don't support restoring extended sequential data set for now. If this is critical to you, I'd suggest you open an RFE and monitor the progress from there.

BTW, is everything going on well with the volume extraction and deployment? Please let me know if you have any further questions. Thanks.

Regards,
Paul

    This request has been delivered into a previously released version of the product. As of ADCD 1903 (May 2019) the default action when restoring datasets for an ADCD Image, is to place them on SMS managed volumes and so this should resolve the issue of restoring extended sequential datasets.

    Thank you for submitting this RFE. This is consistent with our plans for the product and will be prioritized for future consideration.
