OK, thanks Tom, I understand, I know a cold start is using the big hammer and 
would add time, and another point of failure to a process that should be 
straight forward. 
I'll take your good advice and display current JES2 environment and use the 
reset ($T) command where needed. 
my next downtime request will be to TEST JES2MAS configuration - if all works I 
just leave it in :) 


Thanks again 
Carmen 


I found in my test LPAR the $T command works well for things I wanted to test

It isn't that you need a cold start, but you can't do it by changing 
your JES2PARM and doing a warm start. A cold start can be pretty 
traumatic, and I wouldn't recommend it. 

For that matter, your JES2PARM is not a reliable method to determine 
what you have. The reason is that you can change most of what 
you have specified with commands, and those changes are kept in 
checkpoint and used upon a warm start. 

I would start by issuing JES2 display commands to document where 
you are, and figure out the $T commands that you need to set it the 
way you want it. Then you will probably want to update your 
JES2PARM so that it will be ready in case you ever need a cold start.
