Pubsets outside HSMS control

The HSMS functions can be used even for pubsets that are not under HSMS control, i.e. not assigned to any storage level, provided that the pubsets are available in the system.

Unless otherwise specified, the backup and archival functions save to the global default system archives defined in the HSMS control file. Version backup and file migration is, however, not possible for these pubsets.

Files that reside on a pubset outside HSMS can only be saved with the Concurrent Copy function if the SYSHSMS ID can be accessed from the pubset. This is because the work file for Concurrent Copy and the metafiles are created on the SYSHSMS ID.
