Perhaps some more details will help. At z/OS V1.13 a new JES2 function was introduced called Spool Migration. The command is $MSPL
https://share.confex.com/share/118/webprogram/Handout/Session10844/JES2%20SPOOL.pdf http://ibmsystemsmag.com/mainframe/administrator/migration/spool_migration_part2/ Editor’s note: This is the second of a four-part series on Job Entry Subsystem 2 (JES2) spool migration, which was included in z/OS release 13. This article provides insights into how JES2 manages the migration among multi-access spool (MAS) members and also migrator communications with runtime applications during the copy and catch-up phases. https://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/os/zos/features/jes2/ A JES2 spool migration moves an existing JES2 spool volume (an extent or data set) to a new spool volume, or merges an existing volume with another existing spool volume. So doing it by creating a new volume, adding to SPOOL environment, Draining current volumes and IPL. Easy enough Just looking to see with a HUGE spool environment if the JES2 Migration function might be easier.
