Thanks for the reply Allan, At the time(s) it seemed that DFHSM was finishing recycle processing and would not respond to commands or not come down with a purge command. There was no CDS backup running at the time(s).
But next time it happens, I'll issue the below commands and look at the response. Thanks, Claude < snip > 1) Assuming the task is not consuming CPU or IO, is this a problem? Perhaps HSM has nothing to do. 2) What does F DFHSM,Q ACTIVE show? Likewise, F DFHSM, Q REQ? 3) Check for a CDS Backup running during some other long running (e.g. recycle) task. Activities will "stack up" until the CDS backup completes. Issue d grs,c to confirm, although it should show up on the Q active command. <snip> <snip> Subject: DFHSM hang condition on z/OS 1.9. Has anyone noticed an occasional 'hung condition' on DFHSM lately? Where the task is just stuck and doing nothing? This has happened about 2-3 times over the past few months and at different times/conditions. </snip> ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 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
