A modified version of SYS1.SAMPLIB(ISGECMON)? Just a guess... That is that! I know the prefix ISG, but ECM got me stranded. I have looked at ISGECMON and now I remember it. Years ago I investigated the problem of ENQs which are holding up scheduled jobs and I eventually decided not to use ISGECMON, but rather use Control-O to trap IEF099I and issue D GRS,C automagically. Thanks Norbert for kindly refreshing my decaying, rusty, muddy memory and saving the last few braincells which I try to reserve for my retirement... ;-D Groete / Greetings Elardus Engelbrecht -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
Re: OS message on HMC
I have had issues where I would run GTF for days if not weeks for IOS or VTAM type issues. So I have no problem with a GTF task staying up for long periods. What I have found is a lot of shops use the IBM names instead of create LPAR specific names for TRACE or unique names for the event that is trying to be trapped. Though it may also be possible that this shop is trying to run multiple GTF Tasks at the same time on the same LPAR. Which, as I recall, still cannot be done. Only one GTF to rule them all.

Please guide me further to resolve the below message. ISGECM1 Job 'GTF ' on system 'SYS2' is holding 'SYS1.TRACE'; other jobs are waiting to use it.

Re: OS message on HMC
This is a very simple issue. The TASK - GTF has a datasets called SYS1.TRACE with either DISP=(,CATLG) or DISP=OLD Another task needs it. Issue the MVS Command D GRS,Cand see what else needs the data set. Next, contact your system programmer in your shop for assistance.
