You use this dialog box to issue the Cancel HSM Request command to cancel active or queued DFSMShsm™ ("HSM") requests. Unlike other dialog boxes for the Storage Toolkit, the Options tab is not displayed in the Cancel HSM Request command dialog box. This action has no HSM command parameter options to set.
To learn about the standard capabilities of a dialog box, see Standard tabs in the dialog boxes of the Storage Toolkit. The topic includes a link to the Reference guides for commands that are used in the Storage Toolkit.
The HSM Request Details workspace is displayed. This workspace includes the HSM Requests view that lists HSM requests.
Press the Control (Ctrl) key and click multiple rows, as needed.
Use the Replacement JCL JOB card field in the JCL tab to assign a unique job ID to this job. If you do not do this, the batch job that is submitted to process the HSM cancel request might not run until any job that is currently executing with that job ID completes.
Cancelling HSM requests can have negative consequences. This section introduces some issues that you should consider before cancelling an HSM request. See z/OS DFSMShsm Storage Administration Reference (http://publibz.boulder.ibm.com/epubs/pdf/dgt2s440.pdf) for detailed information about these issues.
