I've learned to update the one used at IPL time. Then make the change dynamically specifying that member to be used. That way things SHOULD be the same upon the next IPL of one of the systems. The biggest problem I run into are enqueues that will not release, thus holding up the dynamic RNL

In your case, the correct solution would be to set up SDSF command security to prevent the operators from changing the service classes. Of course this will probably become a management political hot potato. As a carrot I would also sit down with operators and determine what changes could be made

Yes, WLM managed initiators can be your best friend. When the machine gets saturated, WLM will bring the work under control. Also a good starting point would be to back off the goals for batch. It's better if the work is over-achieving rather than under-achieving. On Tue, 25 Mar 2008 10:38:59

I have this happen quite frequently. The reason is that the HLQ(s) already exist in the master catalog, so having an ALIAS pointing them to another catalog would cause the existing entries to become non-existent. I view this as a failsafe by VSAM catalog management. On Mon, 25 Feb 2008 14:30:28
