Separate scheduling criteria are specified for the two migration types.
MIG scheduling criteria are specified under STAGE 01 SCHEDULING PARAMETERS in the Migration Mission Definition screen. At most sites, stage 01 migration is scheduled frequently, perhaps daily, to remove reports from scarce DASD resources as soon as possible.
MSM scheduling criteria are specified under MIGRATION PATH SCHEDULING PARAMETERS in the Migration Mission Definition screen. At most sites, subsequent stages in the migration path are scheduled less frequently, perhaps every weekend, to minimize the extent to which running migration jobs impacts production jobs.
To minimize DASD utilization, schedule stage 01 (MIG type) migrations more frequently. To minimize the usage of computer resources when such resources are required for other jobs, schedule other (MSM type) migrations less frequently.
