Install the latest and greatest, and then just hope the problem is fixed? I think *NOT*
-----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Brian Westerman Sent: Saturday, February 17, 2018 8:22 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: SMS dataset oddity with COM-Plete No, the volumes are identical (same raid, same channels, etc.) except that the one (that results in an s0C1) is in an SMS pool and the other is not. The data got to the pool because we sent it there via a dfdss batch job to move all of the development datasets to a "new" 48 volume development pool instead of just a few development 3390-3's. The only difference between them via 3.4 seems to be that one has a storage class and management class (no dataclass) and the other doesn't (because it's not on an SMS volume. The vendor (SAG) is no help at all, as they feel that since Com-Plete 6.8.1 works fine with it on either volume that we should just migrate to the new version now. Unfortunately, that's not a viable option because they have to upgrade Natural and Adabas first and that project has just started (that's why the Com-Plete cutover is January of 2019). Strangely enough, we have another customer, at the same level of Com-Plete, exactly same PTF level and compile dates on the programs, and they have no problem editing dataset from the SMS volumes. I have compared the sites com-plete (s) and they are not just virtually identical, they are exactly identical. One site though (the site that works) is z/OS 1.8 (in the process of moving to z/OS 2.3), but the other (the one where it fails) is at z/OS 2.2. I have no real doubts that the issue is something within SMS under z/OS 2.2 (or something that changed between 1.8 and 2.2), but the problem is to locate and neutralize it before the site that is currently converting to 2.3 ends up with the same issue. They have no plans to upgrade their Software AG environment (it's slowly disappearing).
