If by the time you issue the V SMS,PDSE,ANALYSIS command and the response is as you have seen, then it's really not an issue. The 'possible PDSE problem(s)' you are seeing are very brief and are usually contention issues which are getting resolved with little or no negative impact. Only if you see something other than 'no exceptional conditions' persist for an extended period of time should you be concerned.

In SYSLOG, I get the text below. Notice also that in this particular case, I issued the "recommended" command, and I get no useful results. I also get nothing whatsoever in any of the batch jobs as far as error/warning/informational messages. Any suggestions? Should I simply turn off monitoring? ------------------------------------------------------------- 00000090 *IGW038A Possible PDSE Problem(s) 132 00000090 Recommend issuing V SMS,PDSE,ANALYSIS 00000090 *IGW038A Possible PDSE Problem(s) 133 00000090 Recommend issuing V SMS,PDSE,ANALYSIS 00000290 V SMS,PDSE,ANALYSIS 00000090 IGW031I PDSE ANALYSIS Start of Report 135 00000090 ++ no exceptional data set conditions detected 00000090 PDSE ANALYSIS End of Report ------------------------------------------------------------- *********************************************************************** Bear Stearns is not responsible for any recommendation, solicitation, offer or agreement or any information about any transaction, customer account or account activity contained in this communication. *********************************************************************** ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
