I think the reason for the JCL error is that your exec or clist that allocates your ISPF profile dataset is probably allocating the same dataset name on both systems. If you have a sysplex, the enque is propagated to the other system, hence the JCL error.

I know when I was working at Land's End, we had a sysplex. I wondered why my ISPF profile dataset was different, and the other sysprog there explained to me about the enque, which for the profile DS is DISP=OLD. You have to write the logon exec or clist to take into account the system it is on, and allocate a name that's different on each system.

Subject: Stupid Question of the day.


I am going to do a migration from OS/390 2.10 to zOS 1.9. The mainframe was supposed to go away six years ago, however some of the applications have been migrated off, but other still remain. Change in management decision to keep the mainframe as a viable platform and upgrade it with new hardware and software. However that is not my question, we run a shared JES2 spool between multiple LPARS a programmer wants to logon to TSO several times using the same user id. Today we can not do it , you get a jcl error. Has this changed with the newer releases of the operating systems? I thought I would ask before I started digging into it.

Thanks for any help.
