Abstract
A method of and system for opening a data set is disclosed. The method and system may include structuring a storage facility to have address spaces. The address spaces may include a first address space having an open manager. The open manager may be configured and arranged to manage activities associated with an open request in response to receiving the open request. The method and system may include performing pseudo-opens associated with the open request in the address spaces. The method and system may include performing a batch-open utilizing the pseudo-opens and a resource used to complete the open request.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for opening a data set in a storage facility, the method comprising:
- structuring the storage facility to have address spaces including a first address space having an open manager that is configured and arranged to manage activities associated with an open request in response to receiving the open request;
- performing a first pseudo-open associated with the open request in a second address space of the address spaces;
- performing a second pseudo-open associated with the open request in a third address space of the address spaces;
- and
- performing a batch-open utilizing the first and second pseudo-opens and a resource used to complete the open request.
A computer-implemented method for opening a data set in a storage facility, the method comprising:
- structuring the storage facility to have address spaces including a first address space having an open manager that is configured and arranged to manage activities associated with an open request in response to receiving the open request;
- performing a first pseudo-open associated with the open request in a second address space of the address spaces, the first pseudo-open including a control block being built;
- performing a second pseudo-open associated with the open request in a third address space of the address spaces;
- and
- performing a batch-open in the first address space in response to achieving a defined specification, the batch-open aggregating the first and second pseudo-opens and obtaining a resource associated with the storage facility used to complete the open request.
A system for opening a data set in a storage facility, comprising:
- a remote device;
- and
- a host device, at least one of the remote device and the host device including an opening module, the opening module comprising:
- a structuring module that structures the storage facility to have address spaces including a first address space having an open manager that is configured and arranged to manage activities associated with an open request in response to receiving the open request;
- a pseudo-open module that performs a first pseudo-open associated with the open request in a second address space of the address spaces and performs a second pseudo-open associated with the open request in a third address space of the address spaces;
- and
- a batch-open module that performs a batch-open utilizing the first and second pseudo-opens and a resource used to complete the open request.
