DFSMSdss: physical and logical processing<br />

Before you begin using DFSMSdss, you should understand the difference between logical<br />

processing and physical processing and how to use data set filtering to select data sets for<br />

processing. DFSMSdss can perform two kinds <strong>of</strong> processing when executing COPY, DUMP, and<br />

RESTORE commands:<br />

► Logical processing operates against data sets independently <strong>of</strong> physical device format.<br />

► Physical processing moves data at the track-image level and operates against volumes,<br />

tracks, and data sets.<br />

Each type <strong>of</strong> processing <strong>of</strong>fers different capabilities and advantages.<br />

During a restore operation, the data is processed the same way it is dumped because<br />

physical and logical dump tapes have different formats. If a data set is dumped logically, it is<br />

restored logically; if it is dumped physically, it is restored physically. A data set restore<br />

operation from a full volume dump is a physical data set restore operation.<br />
