IBM Tivoli Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm offers comprehensive and extremely fast audit support in the following areas: DFSMShsm Migration, Backup, Offline Control DataSets (MCDS, BCDS, and OCDS), and DFSMShsm owned tape.

Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm evaluates the Migration, Backup, and Offline Control DataSets (MCDS, BCDS, and OCDS) to resolve structural and logical discrepancies that could have prevented migrated data from being recalled, or backup data from being restored. Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm checks the ICF catalog relationships to assure that migrated data is cataloged, and that data cataloged as "migrated" is actually migrated. This function duplicates the DFSMShsm audit and enhanced audit commands with improved performance and flexibility.

The IBM Data Facility System Managed Storage Hierarchical Storage Manager (DFSMShsm) manages hundreds of thousands to millions of data assets, both critical and non-critical, in licensed IT environments. As businesses grow the sheer quantity of data assets stored on z/OS increases commensurately. This growth is mitigated using DFSMShsm to manage the life cycle of data assets, from creation to expiration. DFSMShsm is a complex environment requiring audit and reporting solutions that reduce resource consumption and help bridge the learning curve for new or inexperienced DFSMShsm administrators.

Advanced Audit for DFSMShsm enables customers to manage DFSMShsm environments using less time and fewer resources and provide powerful enhancements over the base DFSMShsm offering. The solution provides proactive DFSMShsm management capabilities that permit customers to produce a truly resilient DFSMShsm environment.
