I just have a suggestion... Create a batch procedure to copy your active IPL volume to your target IPL volume. The catalog entries are using indirect addressing either using symbolics or vol(******). Make sure all datasets that do not support indirect catalog entries are off the sysres (As I remember VSAM and zfs datasets do not support indirect catalog entries). In the procedure mass change all the dddefs in you target zone to replace the vol to point to your new target volume.
If you have three sysres volumes... Target/backup/active you could continue working after a new sysres is implemented and still backoff. Also you could copy your target to the staging sysres (the previous backoff volume) avoiding mass change of smpe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@bama.ua.edu with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
