Many thanks for the responses to my query.
Based on these I changed all the SYSOUT statements for the WebSphere PROCs from
SYSOUT=*,SPIN=UNALLOC,FREE=CLOSE to SYSOUT=H. WebSphere came up fine. I
reverted back to the previous SYSOUT syntax and WebSphere came up fine again.
I have no real idea of what's going on. There are two of us working on this
box and between 1630 when I left yesterday and 0700 today no one was on and the
only thing going on is DB2 activity for our automated testers.
I am suspicious though, in that I am seeing JES2 resource shortages:
£HASP050 JES2 RESOURCE SHORTAGE OF TGS - 94% UTILIZATION REACHED
£HASP050 JES2 RESOURCE SHORTAGE OF JQES - 89% UTILIZATION REACHED
On another system (z/OS 1.4) I've seen output behave "strangely" (not as I
would have expected) with JES shortages, but nothing like this (z/OS 1.6).
Don't know that this is the cause, but at this point I have no other
explanation.
So, for now WAS is back up, but I don't really know why, which isn't a really
good feeling. But, if it happens again I'll know to modify the JES STC
processing options to make sure I can get any and all output.
Thanks again,

Subject: START fails no diagnostics!
Have you ever seen a situation where the START command is issued, but the
address space fails with no diagnostics:
05340 13:30:58.39 WWALSH 00000290 START
BBO6ACR,JOBNAME=BBOS001,ENV=CPAC.CPAC.BBOS001
05340 13:30:58.44 00000090 IRR812I PROFILE BBO6ACR.* (G) IN THE
STARTED CLASS WAS USED 561
561 00000090 TO START BBO6ACR WITH JOBNAME
BBOS001.
05340 13:30:58.45 STC09920 00000281 £HASP100 BBOS001 ON STCINRDR
05340 13:30:58.53 STC09920 00000290 IEF695I START BBO6ACR WITH JOBNAME
BBOS001 IS ASSIGNED TO USER ASCR1
, GROUP WSCFG1
05340 13:30:58.53 STC09920 00000090 £HASP373 BBOS001 STARTED
05340 13:30:58.53 STC09920 00000281 IEF403I BBOS001 - STARTED - TIME=13.30.58
05340 13:30:58.62 STC09920 00000090 IEF404I BBOS001 - ENDED - TIME=13.30.58
05340 13:30:58.63 STC09920 00000281 £HASP395 BBOS001 ENDED
I see nothing on the JES2 queues for this address space. I have checked the
WebSphere logger data, the WebSphere server1/logs filesystem, and EREP and
cannot find any reason for this. It was working on Friday and we cannot
identify the change that has caused this. I noticed the X33E SLIP trap being
met following the end of BBOS001, but turning it off doesn't produce any
additional information. I don't know LE, but tried adding the TRACE(ON,LE=3)
parm to the BBOCTL program, but that didn't provide any results. The system
dump datasets are empty.
I can unmount the /WebSphere/V6R0 filesystem to force a JCL error and I tried
creating a new WAS config file system. I can run this JCL as a job until I
fail on a security issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
William
