We tried, and failed, to migrate from our MONOPLEX to a two system basic sysplex yesterday. There were a number of problems. One really weird one occurred after I had taken down the new z/OS image and done the appropriate shutdown of it (V XCF,...,OFFLINE, reply DOWN on the remaining system, after a RESET CLEAR on the HMC for the LPAR). Well, I think it was the correctly way. Anyway, we ran a job which tried to delete a VSAM file. The step was actually running CA-FAVER, which does a delete/define/reload. The DELETE failed: <quote> DELETE (PRIMV.PPO.XDF) 0IKJ56241I DATA SET PRIMV.PPO.XDF NOT ALLOCATED IKJ56241I DATA SET IS ALLOCATED TO ANOTHER JOB OR USER IDC0551I ** ENTRY PRIMV.PPO.XDF NOT DELETED 0IDC0001I FUNCTION COMPLETED, HIGHEST CONDITION CODE WAS 8 </quote> The person who was here, did a 3.4 on the DSN and did a "whohas" command to find out who had the dataset allocate. According to him, and I trust him, he got the output: DATASET: 'PRIMV.PPO.XDF' NOT ALLOCATED. Unfortunately, he did not try to allocate the DSN with JCL and a DISP=OLD, which is my usually way to find DSN conflicts. Is there any way to do an "after the fact" problem diagnosis? Oh, to make matter worse, we reIPL'ed the original system back into MONOPLEX mode, so I can't do any testing until next Sunday. Thanks for any ideas, althought I think that I am SOL on this. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer HealthMarkets Keeping the Promise of Affordable Coverage Administrative Services Group Information Technology The information contained in this e-mail message may be privileged and/or confidential.
