A QUERY command was issued with the BACKUP or SETSYS parameter. DFSMShsm issues this message to describe the current parameter settings for the data set backup function.

The maximum number of data set backup tasks to run concurrently to either tape or DASD is referred to as TASKS.

DS DASD BACKUP TASKS

The number of data set backup tasks that may use ML1 DASD as the backup target device.

DS TAPE BACKUP TASKS

The number of data set backup tasks that may use tape as the backup target device.

DEMOUNTDELAY

The number of minutes to delay the demount of a tape after it has no work to do. The number of drives that can delay tape demount is limited by MAXIDLETASKS.

MAXIDLETASKS

The number of drives for which a demount of a tape is to be delayed after it has no more data sets to be backed up to it.

DS BACKUP MAX DASD SIZE

The size in kilobytes of the largest data set that may be directed to ML1 DASD for WAIT requests that do not specify the TARGET keyword.

DS BACKUP STD DASD SIZE

The size in kilobytes of a small data set. Small data sets are directed to ML1 DASD for WAIT requests that do not specify the TARGET keyword when a tape task is not immediately available to process the request.

SWITCHTAPES TIME

The time that is specified for the DEFINE SWITCHTAPES command. If 0 is displayed, the data set backup tape will not be demounted at any specific time of the day. If a time is displayed, the data set backup tapes will be demounted at that time. If AUTOBACKUPEND is displayed, the data set backup tapes will be demounted at the end of AUTOBACKUP.

PARTIALTAPE

The action to be taken on partial tapes upon the SWITCHTAPES demount. If MARKFULL is displayed, DFSMShsm will mark the data set backup tapes full upon SWITCHTAPES demount. If REUSE is displayed, DFSMShsm will not mark the tapes full but will keep them available for remount. If SETSYS is displayed, DFSMShsm will take the action specified in the SETSYS PARTIALTAPE command.

GENVSAMCOMPNAMES

If GENVSAMCOMPNAMES=YES, DFSMShsm indicates that DFSMSdss should generate new data and index component names when processing a backup with NEWNAME request and the data set being backed up is VSAM and the newname data set is either migrated or uncataloged.

If GENVSAMCOMPNAMES=NO, DFSMShsm fails a backup with NEWNAME request when the data set being backed up is VSAM and the newname data set is either migrated or uncataloged.
