tape are stored as a tape data set named OAM.PRIMARY.DATA. Objects in an object<br />

backup storage group being written to tape are stored as a tape data set named<br />

OAM.BACKUP.DATA. Each tape containing objects has only one tape data set, and that<br />

data set has one <strong>of</strong> the two previous names. Because the same data set name can be<br />

used on multiple object-containing tape volumes, the object tape data sets are not<br />

cataloged.<br />

If you do not already have a policy for cataloging all permanent data, it is a good idea to<br />

establish one now. For example, you can enforce standards by deleting uncataloged data<br />

sets.<br />

► Uncataloged data sets<br />

Data sets that are not cataloged in any ICF catalog. To locate such a data set, you need to<br />

know the volume serial number <strong>of</strong> the volume on which the data set resides. SMS<br />

information is stored in the catalog, that is why uncataloged data sets are not supported.<br />

► Data sets in a jobcat or stepcat<br />

Data set LOCATEs using JOBCATs or STEPCATs are not permitted for system-managed<br />

data sets. You must identify the owning catalogs before you migrate these data sets to<br />

system management. The ISPF/PDF SUPERC utility is valuable for scanning your JCL<br />

and identifying any dependencies on JOBCATs or STEPCATs.<br />

► Unmovable data sets<br />

Unmovable data sets cannot be system-managed. These data sets include:<br />

– Data sets identified by the following data set organizations (DSORGs):<br />

Partitioned unmovable (POU)<br />

Sequential unmovable (PSU)<br />

Direct access unmovable (DAU)<br />

Indexed-sequential unmovable (ISU)<br />

– Data sets with user-written access methods<br />

– Data sets containing processing control information about the device or volume on<br />

which they reside, including:<br />

Absolute track data that is allocated in absolute DASD tracks or on split cylinders<br />

Location-dependent direct data sets<br />

All unmovable data sets must be identified and converted for use in a system-managed<br />

environment. For information about identifying and converting unmovable data sets, see<br />
