6.2 Effective immediately, the following policies and procedures apply to the allocation, management and maintenance of datasets residing on DASD affiliated with the DISC MVS Operating System. The allocation of any permanent dataset, other than those associated with the management classes defined in Standard 4460, must be proceeded by the submission of a space request to DISC Technical Support. There are two on-line facilities for the submission of these space requests. The lead person of DISC Technical Support may authorize the deletion of any unauthorized permanent datasets. An attempt will be made to contact the responsible agency, but deletion of the dataset is not contingent on that notification if the space is needed to prevent a disruption in production processing.
Agencies are responsible for backing up datasets and libraries wholly owned by that agency.
Backup procedures for datasets utilizing the management classes defined in Standard 4460, will follow those rules. 6.2.4 DASD Storage management is the responsibility of DISC Technical Support. Likewise, special requests such as requests for full volume restores or space for very large sorts, should be directed to that same person. Revisions are indicated with a vertical bar to the left of the hardcopy document.
