APAR status
Closed as new function.
Error description
With this APAR the following functionality will be added to DFSMSrmm. This support is being added to satisfy the new European GDPR legislation. The intent is to restrict access to certain data sets that have expired, but still exist on tape volumes that have yet to be scratched. After installing the APAR it will be possible for RMM to prohibit reading or writing to all data sets that have expired, and are no longer retained by a Vital Record Specification. This new function will also allow access to be manually blocked for individual data sets using the CHANGEDATASET subcommand with the FORCEEXPIRE operand in DFSMSrmm.

Problem conclusion
Temporary fix
Comments
The program has been enhanced to support controlling access to tape data sets that are expired and no longer retained by RMM but reside on a volume that has not yet been returned to scratch status. The book "DFSMSrmm Implementation and Customization Guide (SC23-6874)" has been updated as shown: Chapter "Using the parmlib member EDGRMMxx" has been updated: in the article "OPTION command syntax": | -----'--------------------------'------------> | | | | | '-NONE-----' | | | | | | | +DSNEXPIRE----------------- | | | | '-BLOCK----' in the article "OPTION command operands": | DSNEXPIRE(BLOCK|NONE) | The DSNEXPIRE option allows for blocking access to data | sets that are expired. | NONE | Data sets that are no longer retained and which have an | expiry date in the past are still accessible until the | volume on which they reside on is scratched. | Data sets modified using the RMM CHANGEDATASET | subcommand with the FORCEEXPIRE operand are | not accessible even when DSNEXPIRE(NONE) is srt. | BLOCK | RMM will block access to data sets that are expired and | not retained by a Vital Record Specification. Newly | created data sets that are not VRSELEXCLUDED are not | blocked until VRSEL housekeeping has a chance to retain | them. | For NL (not labeled) tapes, a data set that is expired | will be blocked even if the JCL has the wrong data set | name, as long as the sequence number of the data set | matches the value stored in the RMM CDS. | BLP (bypass label processing) cannot be used to read or | write expired data sets when DSNEXPIRE(BLOCK) is set. | | Note: Instead of using DSNEXPIRE(BLOCK), you can manually | block selected data sets using the RMM CHANGEDATASET | subcommand with the FORCEEXPIRE operand. | Such data sets will show "(ForceExpire)" next to | their expiration date in the RMM LISTDATASET | subcommand output. | | Default: DSNEXPIRE(NONE) The book "DFSMSrmm Managing and Using Removable Media (SC23-6873)", Chapter "Using RMM TSO subcommands" has been updated as shown: in the article "CHANGEDATASET: Changing data set information" : | >--.----------.--.----------------.----------------> | | (3) | | | | '-FORCE----' '-FORCEEXPIRE----' | | (1)| | '-REMOVEEXPIRE---' ... | FORCEEXPIRE | Use FORCEEXPIRE to block access to a data set and | uncatalog it. The result of the uncatalog call will | depend on the setting of the UNCATALOG RMM PARMLIB | option. | | UNCATALOG(NO) will prevent FORCEEXPIRE from uncataloging | the data set. | UNCATALOG(YES) will ensure that the FORCEEXPIRE operand | uncatalogs the data set. | UNCATALOG(SCRATCH) will only uncatalog data sets on | scratch volumes. | | FORCEEXPIRE will cause "(ForceExpire)" to appear next to | the expiration date in the RMM LISTDATASET subcommand | output. | | All attempts to read or write to the data set will fail | with ABEND S413. | | For NL (not labeled) tapes, a data set that has the | FORCEEXPIRE bit set will be blocked even if the JCL has | the wrong data set name, as long as the sequence number | of the data set matches that stored in the RMM CDS. | BLP (bypass label processing) cannot be used to read or | write data sets that have the FORCEEXPIRE bit set. | | FORCEEXPIRE does not change the actual expiration date | of the data set or the volume on which it resides. | FORCEEXPIRE can affect the retention of the volume if | WHILECATALOG is used. | | The RMM CHANGEDATASET subcommand specified with the | REMOVEEXPIRE and FORCE operands is the only way | to regain access to the data set after a FORCEEXPIRE. | You can specify the REMOVEEXPIRE operand if you are | authorized to use the FORCE operand. ... | REMOVEEXPIRE | Resets the FORCEEXPIRE flag for the data set, allowing | it to be accessed. You must specify the FORCE operand | with REMOVEEXPIRE.
