We found this out the hard way as it is not documented in either the JES2
Migration Guide nor in the PSP bucket that in a MAS all node definition must
be the same. We have installed z/OS 1.7 on our test and development
sysplexes, but when we installed into production this weekend we got these
messages
¢HASP563 NODE(72) DEFINITION HAS CHANGED 064
NODE(72) NAME=N72 WILL BE CHANGED TO NAME=AGISUD
NODE(72) PATHMGR=YES WILL BE CHANGED TO PATHMGR=NO
*73 ¢HASP441 REPLY 'Y' TO CONTINUE INITIALIZATION OR 'N' TO TERMINATE IN
RESPONSE TO MESSAGE HASP563
We opened a problem with IBM and got this response:
"I will attempt to answer your question regarding HASP563
first. In JES2 z/OS 1.7 we added additional function for the $TNODE
command which means that the node definitions are now kept in the
CHECKPOINT so they have MAS-wide scope. During a warm start, JES2
will check the NODE parm values and compare them with the values in
the checkpoint. They should be the same since it is documented in
the JES2 INIT and Tuning Guide Chapter 5: Network Job Entry (NJE)
topic: Multi-Access Spool (subsection Example of a Multi-Access SPOOL node)
"All JES2 members of a multi-access spool node must specify the same value
for the OWNNODE= and NODENUM= parameters on the NJEDEF statement in each of
their initialization data sets. They must also have identical node
definition parameters as specified on the NODE(nnnn) initialization
statement, including the node name. "
At z/OS 1.7 JES2 will issue HASP563 during initialization if it detects a
difference between what is in the checkpoint and the NODE parms in the INIT
deck to notify the operator of the discrepancy."
Note: the text from the Guide is under the heading of "Example of a
multi-access SPOOL node"
I am posting the warning as JES2 level to is reluctant to update the
Migration Guide to include this information.
