Tom, I think we are arguing semantics here. The dataset is moved once LDMF completes, and new allocations of the moved datasets go to the new volume, and those tasks that had it allocated still get it at the old location until they are recycle, and LDMF takes care of keeping them in sync.
What you said was: " They're only transparent if the datasets are not ENQ'd. Any applications holding datasets will still have to be recycled so the dataset can move." When I read what you originally wrote, you seemed to imply that nothing could be done while the dataset was enqueued. Almost any dataset move is transparent if it is not allocated. :-) _________________________________________________________________ Dave Jousma Assistant Vice President Mainframe Services [EMAIL PROTECTED] 616.653.8429 -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pinnacle Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 3:17 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: Moving 3390-3 to 3390-9 ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jeffrey Deaver" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Newsgroups: bit.listserv.ibm-main Sent: Wednesday, July 16, 2008 2:50 PM Subject: Re: Moving 3390-3 to 3390-9 >> It moves data sets while applications have them OPEN? > > Yes and No is my understanding.

Did I not say the applications had to be recycled for ENQ'd datasets? Regards, Tom Conley This e-mail transmission contains information that is confidential and may be privileged.
