Re: JES2 - keeping only selected outputs
The way I do it is to have a Jes output class defined with outputdisp of purge,hold. Have msgclass and all output in job assigned to this class.

Re: Quick AIX question rooted in a z/OS concept
I believe at AIX 5.3 (maybe earlier) you no longer need HACMP in order to use GPFS. I think an easier way is to NFS mount it to the second lpar. Without doing something strange I don't think it would be possible to have the volume group active in read/write at same time to multiple, but if you did it with a JFS or JFS2 file system then you'd be risking corruption of it for sure. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Pommier, Rex R. Sent: Friday, June 15, 2007 1:41 PM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Quick AIX question rooted in a z/OS concept Hi all. I know this isn't a z/OS question but I don't think any of us live in a homogeneous environment and the best way I can think of asking this AIX question is to word it in z/OS terminology. I have an application developer who wants to have 2 AIX LPARs access shared disk. He thinks he can just have me point the LUN on the SAN to both LPARs and everything will work just fine. On my "Z", I can set up GRS or a third-party competitor to this to serialize I/O requests from various LPARs/machines. Is there something in AIX that performs a similar function? I asked this of an AIX list and the response I got back was something called GPFS which they say can do this. Unfortunately it appears as though I would need to buy and activate HACMP to use GPFS. Is there something else, more of a stand-alone product like GRS that would allow me to share a disk LUN across multiple AIX LPARs without having the LPARs step on each other? Thanks and have a happy Friday.

Re: JES2 proclibs allocated???
I believe when Jes switches to procxx then back to PROC00 it will re-allocate all the proclibs which should pick up the new location of lib03. I switched to dynamic procs awhile ago so I can't test it myself. Should be easy enough to check though - run a typrun=scan that has a proc unique to lib03 which should cause the error, in the same initiator run the iefbr14 switching procxx, then again in same init re-run the typrun=scan and hopefully the error should be gone. -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Vernooy, C.P. - SPLXM Sent: Wednesday, February 08, 2006 9:07 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: Re: JES2 proclibs allocated??? David, I remember your trick, but do not recall what it was for. It causes JES2 to close PROC00 and open PROC01 for this particular job and will switch back to PROC00 for the next job that does not specify a //PROCLIB. I don't see how this helps in this situation. PROCLIBs are used by the convertor, which run in JES2 address space, that is why this DD statement is in JES2 JCL. lib03 remains in the PROC00 concatenation and will be searched if a PROC is not found in lib01 and lib02 and will keep on giving 213-04 abends.

It's been awhile, but it seems like I remember this could be fixed by switching the proc list - run an iefbr14 job with /*JOBPARM PROCLIB=PROC01 You'll need to run it in each initiator is the down side.
