All, Our test lpar is now on z/OS 1.9 since Tuesday and all is well except for the 'tape processing'.
We have a 3494 ATL and a B10 virtual environment. All parts of it are fine except for the VOLCAT. When you start OAM, it cannot communicate with the volcat. Also, when I try to list volumes within ISMF, it gets the "TCBD CALL ERROR'. When I try to create or delete an entry in the volcat, same results. I can run a LISTCAT fine and it displays al the tape entries. The volcat is import connected to the new MASTER CAT. A listcat of the Master shows it. There has been no issue on our devl lpar with z/OS 1.9 and the tape processing. Something is amiss here and I can't put my finger on it. I have an open PMR with the OAM and CATALOG folks, but nothing yet. Does anyone here have any idea why I cannot 'get to the volcat' from batch or ISMF? All SMS routines are fine and I even re-drove them. It was all okay under z/OS 1.7 prior to the IPL of z/OS 1.9. Confused, Claude ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
