Did you originally delete the VVDS or just uncatalog it (delete noscratch)?
If you did not specify a catalog, the VVDS was probably recatalogued in the master catalog. Do you know for a fact that this is the same place it was catalogued before the mistake? (It may matter because VVDSs and catalogs point back and forth to each other.) Do you periodically run Access Methods Services DIAGNOSE commands against your catalogs and VVDSs? If not, it might pay to do both for this VVDS/catalog just to insure everything is still consistent. (Running the EXAMINE command against the catalog might also be reassuring.) :>: -----Original Message----- :>: From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On :>: Behalf Of Mike Schwab :>: Sent: Thursday, November 21, 2013 4:18 PM :>: To: [email protected] :>: Subject: Re: VVDS delete :>: :>: The DEFINE RECATALOG on the VVDS worked.
