And not a PDSe! I do not follow the 'Never ACCEPT" process. Al Nims Systems Admin/Programmer III UF Information Technology East Campus P.O.

I learned to use SMP back on MVT (am I the only one still here that can truthfully make that statement?) and while it's been a while since I last used SMP/E, I do not recall ever encountering a no ACCEPT policy for any IBM MRM. But people aren't mentioning policy for archiving snapshots of target and DLIB volumes and restoring therefrom--much faster than reAPPLYing LOTS of maintenance. That also requires tracking the target/DLIB volume snapshot associations, which are not necessarily based upon the dates of the snapshots. -- <not cent from sell> May the LORD God bless you exceedingly abundantly!
