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

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
