Generally - You can walk the CKPT anytime with $TCKPTDEF,RECONFIG=YES
It is long, but fairly safe. You can cancel the process at any time, and JES2 will not impact much until you end it or allow it to proceed with the reconfiguration. You only need to cold start jes2 if you want to change the name of the SPOOL Volume. Otherwise you can init other volumes with the mask selected and allow volumes to drain, and once drained, remove from the system. One of the suggestions in best practice for JES2 CKPT is to have CKPT1 in CF Structure and CKPT2 on DASD.
