Migration Mission Skeleton Jobs

Every primary and secondary migration mission must have its own skeleton job in a separate member of the Control‑D SKL library. The name of the member containing the skeleton job for a primary migration mission must be identical to the name of the migration mission. The name of the member containing the skeleton job for the secondary migration mission can be specified in parameter SECONDARY SKELETON in the migration mission.   

In the Control‑D SKL library, member MIGLIM contains a skeleton job for a primary migration mission. Member MICLIM contains an almost identical skeleton job for a secondary migration mission. These skeleton jobs can be used "as is" (for migration missions MIGLIM and MICLIM) and can be duplicated (and modified) as required for other migration missions.

Because the same library is used for printing, backup, restore and migration mission skeletons, the names of all missions must be unique.

When defining a new migration mission, create a skeleton job member with the same name. To implement secondary migration, create a skeleton job member with the name in parameter SECONDARY SKELETON. The skeleton job format is identical for migration to all media types.

Skeleton jobs contain the parameters listed below. These parameters are interpreted (resolved) by the Control‑D and Control‑V monitor. All parameters (except %COND%) are mandatory and must remain exactly as written in the MIGLIM and MICLIM skeleton jobs.

Table 167 Parameters for Skeleton Jobs

Parameter

Description

%KODAK% / %ENDKODAK%

Labels that enclose a part of the skeleton job that is placed in the migration job only when the target media is ROSs/OSS.

%REPEAT% / %ENDREPEAT%

Labels that enclose a part of the skeleton job that is repeated for every target media by Control‑D and Control‑V.

%TARMEDIA%

Name of the target media to which files are migrated. The value is specified in the migration mission definition.

%MIGPREF%

Prefix of the volume or platter to which files are migrated. If a value is not specified in the migration mission definition, NOCHECK is added to the job and the prefix is not checked. Optional.

%LEVEL%

For a migration mission with both primary and secondary migration, resolves to PRIMARY and SECONDARY in the appropriate jobs. For only primary migration, resolves to PRIMARY in step MIG and PRIMONLY in step ANALYZE. For only secondary migration, resolves to SECONDARY in step MIG and SECREFRESH in step ANALYZE.

%MISSNAME%

Migration mission name.

%TIMESTMP%

Timestamp that is later used by Control‑V for internal purposes.

%VSET% / %FSET%

VSET (volume set) and FSET (file set) parameters specified in the migration mission definition. These parameters are used only for migration to FileTek. For other target media, these parameters and DD statement FTKIN are not included in the migration job.

%DSNS%

List of datasets to be migrated by this mission. The Control‑D and Control‑V monitor obtains these values by scanning $SYSDATA records.

%COND% condition

Prerequisite condition to be added to the IOA Conditions file when preparation of the migration job is completed. The condition is specified in parameter OUT of the migration mission. The ODAT of the condition is identical to the original scheduling date of the migration mission. This mechanism can be used for triggering the migration job under Control‑M. Optional.
