Parameters Examples Error messages |
The Start Archived Storage Mgmt (STRASMOND) command starts the Archived Storage Management (ASM) process which manages the movement of data within the ASM defined levels. This function can be canceled with a controlled cancel option if enough time is allowed to end what it is currently processing.
STRASMOND requires that the job it runs in allow DB2 to be set into server mode. This is only a concern if the command is run interactively. If any SQL statements have been processed in the interactive job before STRASMOND is run, STRASMOND will fail with SQL errors. To avoid this problem either always submit STRASMOND to batch (the default) or signoff and sign back on before running STRASMOND interactively.

Specifies the name of the policy that Archived Storage Management will perform the requested functions against.
Note: Position the cursor in the policy parameter entry and use the prompt (F4) key to view the list of policy values that are available for the default (*DFT) instance.
The default instance is specified in the QDFTINST data area. The QDFTINST data area can exist in multiple libraries. A search for the QDFTINST data area is performed using the library list. The first data area found will be used. If the QDFTINST data area is not found using the library list, the QUSRRDARS library will be searched for the data area. If the data area exists in the QUSRRDARS library it will be used. If the QDFTINST data area is not found, instance QUSROND is used.

Example 1: Simple Example
STRASMOND
This command submits a job to batch that starts the OnDemand Common Server Archived Storage Management (ASM) process which manages the movement of data within the defined levels of archive media. When issued with no parameters specified, this command processes data for ALL defined storage management policies for the default QUSROND instance, and runs both migration and expiration processing.
Example 2: More Complex Example
STRASMOND POLICY(APDATAPOL) PROCESS(*MIGRATION)
This command is Similar to Example 1 but processes only data associated with the APDATAPOL policy definition and runs only migration processing.
