As I said in a previous post, we've previously experienced this problem
only in DR testing where the mirroring connection is brutally interrupted
on purpose. In the case of CEC upgrade/replacement, all systems would be
shut down cleanly before hardware work begins.

How about, just before V XCF,OFF, the SETXCF commands are issued to expunge
the troublesome--mostly DB2--structures in advance? The advantage of doing
it beforehand would be that IPLs on new hardware would then be
straightforward. This matters a lot to automation, which wants to start up
everything in a big rush.

No, I stand by my previous statement that:

 setxcf force,structure,strname=DSNDSNY_SCA

...should do the trick for this specific case.  That is the minimum thing
that
Cwi needs.  If they managed to pend any other commands to XCF they may
also need to issue a SETXCF POLICY,START,POLNM=.......  command to move
things forward.  (We needed that for exactly that reason, too.  YMMV.)

(DB2 should then rebuild in the new structure in the new CF.
