This manual is intended to familiarize the user with the HSMS functions and HSMS management. It addresses both nonprivileged BS2000 users and HSMS administrators; sections of special interest for either target group are marked accordingly.
Following an introduction to the basic functions of HSMS, the storage hierarchy and user classes are described. The archives are then presented as the basic management units of HSMS. This is followed by a detailed description of the HSMS functions.
The chapters on management and installation are aimed at the HSMS administrator; they also contain information on the migration function.
In chapter "Interoperation of HSMS with ARCHIVE" you will find information about the most important products HSMS interoperates with. In particular, it contains special information for users who are already familiar with the use of ARCHIVE. Here you will find aids for changing over from ARCHIVE to HSMS as well as overviews of the HSMS statements replacing the familiar ARCHIVE functions.
In the appendix the three sections "Introduction of HSMS in the computer center", "Effect on user applications" and "Notes on the generation of automatic procedures" provide a summary which should be distributed to all computer center users prior to the introduction of HSMS (in particular before the migration function is made available).
The restriction on reproduction therefore does not apply to this part of the appendix. The appendix also contains information on troubleshooting.
The list of abbreviations and glossary define the most important terms used in this manual.
In the text, references to other manuals are made in abbreviated form and appear in quotation marks. The full titles of these publications can be found under “Related publications”.
There is also an index at the back of the manual.
