Subject: Re: DFRMM - CATSYNCH
Because I have 6,000 entries that are wrong and I wanted to make sure
that CATSYNCH won't cause more problems or issues.

Bob,
My experience with CATSYNCH is that it solves problems, it doesn't create
them. I've run a number of RMM conversions and the first housekeeping step
is a CATSYNCH to populate the catalog field in the RMM CDS. CATSYNCH is
only used to save processing time for CATALOG control datasets
(EXPDT=99000). The values are "Y", "N", and "UNKNOWN". This field is set
to "Y" when the dataset is cataloged, and then to "N" when the dataset is
deleted or uncataloged. This allows RMM to bypass a catalog locate call
when scratching the dataset. It will still make the call if the field is
"UNKNOWN".
If you want to know what CATSYNCH will do, run a VERIFY and that will tell
you without making any changes. If you had CATSYNCH working, but it somehow
got out of sync, you should figure out why the RMM catalog intercepts are
not populating this field correctly. In that case, you should open a PMR.

Tom Conley
