Migration to OAM

During the migration process, the Control‑V migration program interfaces with the IBM OAM through the OSREQ application interface to store the report as OBJECTs in a COLLECTION. The size of the OBJECTs are determined by media specific parameters defined in the IOASPRM member.

Migration to OAM enables you to migrate many CDAM and Index files into a single OAM collection. This reduces the number of entries in the system catalog and improves system performance.

The SMS management system, guided by the user’s definition in an ACS routine, directs the data server to transport the collection of OAM objects to a 3995 device. The user cannot specify parameters to SMS through Control‑V. Therefore, all parameters for SMS must be specified externally.
