John, Do you happen to have a TCDB as well (VTS)? I ran into a similar problem at DR and it turned out we had to EXPORT DISCONNECT the TCDB for the VTS. Then everything was good. Since we did not have a VTS in our DR contract, we needed to remove it from our DR environment at the hot site.

Could this be an SMS parameter of some sort? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the message: GET IBM-MAIN INFO Search the archives at http://bama.ua.edu/archives/ibm-main.html
