Releasing Compatible FlashCopy relationships

When you use the DFSMSdss command, keep in mind that the DFSMSdss command cannot release
Compatible FlashCopy relationships.

In the following situations, the FCWITHDR command might be issued automatically by a host server,
and relationships might be deleted:

A user deletes dataset.

A user initializes a volume.

Temporary dataset is deleted when a job completes.

You can release allocated space for a space-efficient target volume (TSE-VOL) by using the following
parameters:

IDCKDSF: RELATSPACE

ANTRQST Macro: SPACEREL

If you do not specify these parameters when releasing relations of TSE-VOLs, relations are deleted
but the allocated capacity of targets is not released.

Business Copy Z
