Step 9: Define External Data Manager Rules

If an External Data Manager, such as DFSMShsm or CA-Disk, is defined in your ASG-Zara system, rules must be created in Control-M/Tape to identify as EDM-controlled datasets.

Use the Control-M/Tape Rule Definition screen (Screen TR) to identify EDM-controlled datasets.

For each EDM dataset or group of datasets:

• Enter the relevant job name and dataset name as selection criteria.
• Enter the DO RETENTION=EDM statement.
• Set CONTINUE SEARCH to Y to ensure that retention definitions in other relevant rules are applied.
