Hi everyone, The challenge is change spool dasd type with offload process. We have been draining volumes and replacing them as they draining, but this takes too much time and we want to speed up the process. Other condition is that I can't add new volumes to spool because there is no room to new volumes I reach the limit (255).
Some details of the environment: - It is a z/OS 1.8 monoplex. I did the offload process and I have next questions: 1.- The process followed to release a dasd was: 1) Offload a specific dasd, 2) drain the volume. After that the volume was 1% of the spool and never release all the spool that it had. What do I have to do to release all the spool of a volume? 2.- Is there any command to display how many units (jobs, started tasks, sysouts, etc.) were offloaded and any command to display how many units (jobs, started tasks, sysouts, etc.) reloaded ? or any other command or procedure to compare before and after of the process in order to verify it. I did the offload-reload process but until now I don't know how can I confirm that all offloaded was reloaded. Other details of the process: - The offload dataset was defined on a dasd, but I'm planning try it over a tape. - Also I'm planning to try drainning the volume first then offload. Any help will very appreciated Thanks in advance ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
