A while back, WLM provided a way to write the WLM policy in advance on another system, but I believe that the actual installing of the policy still needs to be done *after* the IPL. Does everyone have a 'backup' of the installed policies? (I know how hard it is to remember to always do a 'save as' after every policy change, and even harder to get my colleagues to follow that rule!) And I do NOT talk about an ADRDSSU copy of any couple data set, because you should NEVER use an ADRDSSU copy to restore a couple CDS. >Even if it was a separate sysplex with shared DASD and alll LPARs in the >owning sysplex were down, you can't just "move" a couple data set. The >VOLSER is saved in the sysplex (XCF) couple data set. Well, someone here had at one point defined an ARM CDS. D XCF,CPL was faithfully showing this dataset, even though the actual data set didn't even exist anymore. It took a sysplex cold start on fresh CDSs to get rid of that entry in the sysplex CDS (keeping in mind IBMs words:' Why do you care that this is still shown in the display? It doesn't hurt any') >So using the supported SETXCF commands to define a new data set, >and switching it is the way to go. Exactly. Best regards, Barbara -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel?
