Angel,
Let me repeat what I gave you earlier. Remember that if the job is across
multiple volumes, until that job is completely purged, you cannot free the
one volume. Also look for jobs that have not completed OUTPUT processing.
They are not readily seen.
In SDSF one of the displays I like to do is in the ST panel for all jobs.
Then sort on QUE column. Then look for $MASCOM just scroll back from
there. You may find some jobs that have not completed output processing and
are in OUTPUT que. So you volume may not be draining for those jobs that
have OUTPUT in the QUE column

Subject: Procedure to verify OFFLOAD process
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
