I just started at my new job, and it's been a couple years since I've worked
on SMS, I'm mainly backups, AD/Exchange, and router/firewall setup nowadays.
The company here apparently used to have a 2.0 installations and they removed
it. But systems are still getting the SMS directories installed, and
services running. Doesn't that mean that there's a secondary SMS server out
there? If so, how do I find it?

    ... In a full SMS shop, applications programmers of course have no business doing volume-level or volume-specific operations, and to prevent override of RACF access restrictions ADRDSSU ADMIN authority must be tightly restricted to those authorized to perform DASDAdmin functions; but for us to deny applications access to DFDSS for dataset level backup/restore functions on their own application datasets would be counterproductive. ... We find that SMS configuration and conventions can reasonably be used to handle a few backups, but are completely inadequate for many others where the only kinds of backups that make sense are driven by application-level events, with sets of related datasets that must be handled as a consistent group, and/or with archival retention requirements that don't fit within the rather simplistic SMS management capabilities. ...
