Before you force any address space that has threads in DB2 you should kill the
threads otherwise you get this situation. With a DB2 monitor you should be able
to identify and kill the thread.

Have you tried the

you can distinguish between manual backups, full volume dumps, and automatic

If you have SimpList select the data set using function 'H' (HSM). This
displays a list of all available backups, and you can select any backup from

We do not. However, we do require logon for those consoles in insecure

Note: it is a bad idea to require logon on all of the consoles. There are
catch 22 situations where you can't logon, because RACF is wait for you to
reply to its request; and you can't reply because you can't logon.
