Product Overview

SDSI (Shared Dataset Integrity) provided dataset and file sharing across MVS systems, eliminating hardware RESERVEs. Functioning similarly to IBM's GRS, it aimed to improve resource utilization. SDSI was later integrated into CA MIM, incorporating STAM (Shared Tape Allocation Manager) and SCON (Shared Console) functionalities.

SDSI's architecture likely involved modules for communication, resource locking, and data access coordination across MVS systems. These components coordinated access to datasets and files, ensuring data integrity across the MVS environment. As SDSI is no longer a standalone product, direct API access is unavailable.

Any related functionality would be exposed through CA MIM's interfaces, if applicable. Organizations seeking similar functionality should explore CA MIM or IBM GRS. Specific commands and syntax for SDSI are not available due to its discontinued status.

Security would likely have been integrated with the MVS security infrastructure, such as RACF, ACF2, or Top Secret.

Frequently Asked Questions

What was the primary function of SDSI?

SDSI aimed to provide dataset and file sharing capabilities across MVS systems, eliminating the need for hardware RESERVEs. It functioned similarly to GRS, facilitating coordinated data access.

Can you describe the architecture of SDSI?

SDSI's architecture involved components for inter-system communication and resource management. These components coordinated access to datasets and files, ensuring data integrity across the MVS environment.

How was SDSI related to CA MIM, STAM, and SCON?

SDSI was eventually integrated into CA MIM, incorporating STAM (Shared Tape Allocation Manager) and SCON (Shared Console) functionalities. This integration provided a more comprehensive system management solution.
