EDM Rules

If an External Data Manager, such as DFSMShsm, or CA-Disk, is defined in your CA-TLMS system, rules must be defined in Control-M/Tape to identify its datasets as EDM-controlled before continuing with the conversion process.

Use the following steps to convert EDM information at your site:

1. Analyze the EDM information in CA-TLMS.
   • For CA-TLMS version 5.3, check CA-TLMS user Exit TLMSXUPD in the CAISRC library to determine what EDM support has been implemented, and check member TLMSIPO or Exit TLMSXUP for existing EDM definitions.
   • For CA-TLMS version 5.4 or later, check parameter EDM in member TLMSIPO in your CA-TLMS PARM library.
2. Identify EDM datasets to Control-M/Tape. In the Control-M/Tape Rule Definition screen (Screen TR), create a rule with a DO RETENTION=EDM statement for each EDM dataset or group.

Note: Other rules may have been created in earlier conversion steps for certain EDM-controlled datasets (that is, specifying the DO RETENTION=PERMANENT statement) if other retention definitions for these datasets were included in the CA-TLMS RMF.
