hi,
is there any parameter while creating a file so that we can extend the period after which it will migrate?
or any other way to avoid migration?

dohellwithmf,

Talk to your SMS management people, they are the ones who sets the rules.

You can have a weekly job which would issue hrecall to all of your datasets in batch mode

And why would you wish to do that ?

Unless it is a production file - then YES - go talk to storage management about it. We are sympathetic to production problems.

Otherwise .........................

It is blatently obvious that you DO NOT use these files on a regular basis, so why do you want to use a valuable resource like DASD space, which stops others from using it when their need may be greater than yours.

As a storage manager, I set the rules based on company policy, not on the whim of someone who does not want their own datasets migrated.

So from my view I can see someone who wants to waste HSM resource by recalling the datasets only to waste DASD resource because they believe that their datasets should not be migrated.

A little extension to what has been told, use appripriate MGMTCLAS parameter but yes, that's site specific.

, You can check the MGMTCLAS parm defined in your site under ISMF panel.

LOL -- Sivaraj, it should be noted that not every site allows every RACF user to log-on to ISMF panels. Unless, I'm mistaken, OP has to have a authority to punt through the ISMF panels before he can check MGMTCLAS parm defined in his site under ISMF panel.
