DTSUTIL - Restore ICCF Back-Up Tape in MVS

                   

DTSUTIL is an MVS utility program to restore ICCF back-up tapes created in VSE. Using DTSUTIL, an OS/390 or z/OS installation can restore libraries and members from an ICCF back-up tape and load them into partitioned data sets, PDS or PDSE.

Originally, DTSUTIL was designed for VSE sites which migrate to MVS and have source code or JCL archived on ICCF back-up tapes. DTSUTIL can be used during the course of the VSE/MVS conversion to facilitate the transfer of VSE application source to the MVS conversion environment. After the end of the migration, when access to the VSE system is no longer available, DTSUTIL can still be used to restore ICCF libraries from archive tapes.

DTSUTIL restores ICCF libraries into a container-type, pre-allocated partitioned data set (PDS or PDSE). DTSUTIL stores each ICCF library into a library-member of the container PDS as an IEBUPDTE input stream. During this process, ICCF members in compressed format are decompressed. Library-members created in the container PDS can then be loaded into partitioned data sets using IEBUPDTE or an equivalent utility such as PDSUTIL or PDSLOAD.

DTSUTIL produces several reports, including a cross-reference of duplicate members, i.e. members found with the same name in several sub-libraries.

Running DTSUTIL

The DTSUTIL Utility runs as a batch job step in the MVS environment. The PARM field is optional; when specified, it must contain a 7-character identifier which DTSUTIL stores into the User-ID field of each library-member's directory entry, which contains statistics in ISPF format. This may be used, for example, to show the tape serial number in the directory entries, as shown in the example below.

DD Statements

DTSUTIL uses the following DD statements:

  1. the TAPEIN DD is used to read the ICCF back-up tape, which may contain several libraries and a mix of compressed and uncompressed members; compressed members, if present, are automatically decompressed.
  2. the SYSUT2 DD is used to write a PDS member (as an IEBUPDTE input stream) for each ICCF library present on the back-up tape.
  3. SYSPRINT is used to write messages.
  4. the MEMBERS DD is used to write a list of all the members found in every library.
  5. the DUPLICAT DD is used to write a list of all the members which occur in more than one library, along with the library numbers in which they have been found.

Output PDS (SYSUT2)

ICCF writes each ICCF library into a library-member of the SYSUT2 output PDS as an IEBUPDTE input stream. The name of the library-member is the 4-digit number of the corresponding ICCF library in the range 0001-9999, prefixed with "ICCF". For example, the library-member ICCF0002 consists of an IEBUPDTE input stream containing all of the members of the ICCF library 0002 found on the tape.

Specifying OPTCD=R on the SYSUT2 DD resets the output PDS to empty before loading library-members. Specifying OPTCD=L writes the library-members in ISPF PACK format to conserve disk space. Both options can be combined by specifying OPTCD=RL. If OPTCD=L is specified, the container PDS's library-members can not be used as input to IEBUPDTE or PDSLOAD; instead, PDSUTIL or STARTOOL must be used.

Each library-member's directory entry in the output PDS contains ISPF statistics. The creation and the last-modified dates are set to the date of the oldest and most recent ICCF members, respectively. The current lines (Size) is the number of records in the library-member. The Init field is the number of packed records, if OPTCD=L was specified on the SYSUT2 DD statement. Mod is the number of ICCF members, i.e. the number of ./ ADD cards it contains. The 7-character User-ID of each library-member is the User-ID passed in the PARM field of the EXEC statement, when specified, or defaults to the job's USER name.

Example:

Directory of a container PDS created with PARM='V612346' and OPTCD=L.

In each library-member, IEBUPDTE ./ ADD cards for individual ICCF members contain ISPF statistics compatible with PDSLOAD (a public-domain utility), STARTOOL (a Serena product), and PDSUTIL (a GSF Software utility). The creation and last-modification dates and user-ID for each member are set to the date and user-ID in the corresponding ICCF directory entry. If IEBUPDTE is used to load a SYSUT2 member into a PDS, statistics are ignored. If PDSLOAD, PDSUTIL or STARTOOL is used instead, then ISPF statistics are stored in the directory entry of each individual member.

Sample Output (MEMBERS)

The MEMBERS data set contains one record for each ICCF member found on the tape, in ascending sequence of library numbers. Each record contains the member name in pos 1, followed by the 4-digit library number (0001-4095), the 4-character ICCF user-id, the YYYY-MM-DD date of the last update, and the content of the 1-byte directory entry's flag byte in hexadecimal format (00-FF).
