Willie, I'll try to answer all of your questions. I'll do this one from the listserve web site, as it doesn't time out like my Roadrunner Email account does when I take a little too long to reply. I found some of my old JCL, so I'll cut and paste that for the catalog moves.
1. I think all of the IMS files were moved using the application backup software. I think we use a product from BMC that does faster backups and restores. We changed all of the delete defines for all of the master files, and the next time they were reorged, they would go to the 3390 volume. 2. We have almost no SMS managed data. As in 1 above, we changed the delete defines, which then had the new volser hard coded. 3. I don't remember how I moved the MCAT, but I think I built a new one, and then just changed the catalog pointer in the LOAD00 member to point to the new catalog. We have very little volatility in our MCAT. 4. The user catalogs were all done on the weekend just before or after the IPL. Here are 4 jobs I ran to move a single catalog. I kept the name of each UCAT the same, as that seemed simpler. Here are the jobs: //TSYS2001 JOB (6377,TSO,0000),'MOVE LIB CAT 1', // NOTIFY=TSYS200, // CLASS=4,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1) //****************************************************************** //* MOVE LIB CAT JOB 1 //****************************************************************** //MOVECAT EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //EXPDD DD DSN=TSYS200.EXPORT.VLIB001,DISP=(NEW,CATLG),UNIT=TSO, // SPACE=(CYL,(15,5),RLSE) //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * EXPORT SYS1.USERCAT.VLIB001 OUTFILE(EXPDD) TEMPORARY /* //TSYS2002 JOB (6377,TSO,0000),'MOVE LIB CAT 2', // NOTIFY=TSYS200, // CLASS=4,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1) //****************************************************************** //* MOVE LIB CAT JOB 2 //****************************************************************** //MOVECAT EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * DELETE SYS1.USERCAT.VLIB001 RECOVERY USERCATALOG /* //TSYS2003 JOB (6377,TSO,0000),'LIBCAT DEFINE JOB 3 ',MSGCLASS=X, // CLASS=2,NOTIFY=TSYS200 //* //* LIB: IPO1.JCLLIB(ICFUCAT) //* GDE: CBIPO MVS CUSTOMIZATION //* DOC: DEFINE AN ICF USER CATALOG //* //DEFINE1 EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //VOL DD UNIT=3390,VOL=SER=LIB901,DISP=OLD //SYSIN DD * DEFINE USERCATALOG - (NAME(SYS1.USERCAT.VLIB001) - CYLINDERS(20 5) - VOLUME(LIB901) - CONTROLINTERVALSIZE(4096) - BUFND(4) - BUFNI(4) - STRNO(3) - NOIMBED - NOREPLICATE - FREESPACE(20 20) - RECORDSIZE(4086 32400) - ICFCATALOG - FILE(VOL)) - CATALOG(SYS1.MCAT.VHSPCAT) /* //TSYS2004 JOB (6377,TSO,0000),'MOVE LIBCAT JOB 4', // NOTIFY=TSYS200, // CLASS=4,MSGCLASS=X,MSGLEVEL=(1,1) //****************************************************************** //* MOVE CAT JOB 4 //****************************************************************** //MOVECAT EXEC PGM=IDCAMS //EXPDD DD DSN=TSYS200.EXPORT.VLIB001,DISP=OLD //SYSPRINT DD SYSOUT=* //SYSIN DD * IMPORT INFILE(EXPDD) - OUTDATASET(SYS1.USERCAT.VLIB001) - ALIAS UNLOCK INTOEMPTY /* I hope that helps.

If you do have any info lying around I would be very happy to accept it. You mention IMS files. Did you use the vendor supplied utilities to transfer them? I remember in 1993 I had a problem with IMS. I used DFDSS to copy and restore (selective). The job ran fine, but when I brought up CICS encountered abends. Being under the gun, I performed a restore using the IMS utility. > > Was your system SMS managed?
