Inspecting legacy TimeFinder datasets

The TimeFinder Scanning Utility (ETFSCAN) identifies all TimeFinder/Mirror (EMCTF) and TimeFinder/Snap (EMCSNAP) VDEV jobs and job steps that are subject to conversion to SnapVX.

The utility helps investigate the specified datasets and report possible usages of TimeFinder/Mirror and TimeFinder/Snap virtual devices. EMCTF and EMCSNAP invocations are discovered in JCL and REXX datasets.

Requirements and restrictions

  • The TimeFinder Scanning Utility supports Mainframe Enablers 8.1 and later.
  • The TimeFinder Scanning Utility supports storage systems running PowerMaxOS 5978 or HYPERMAX OS 5977.
  • The TimeFinder Scanning Utility does not recognize an EMCTF or EMCSNAP invocation if the program name, such as EMCTF or EMCSNAP, is specified as a procedure parameter in the JCL to be scanned.
