I'm getting lost.
What does it mean front end switch?
The common vernacular in this particular field is to describe that
front-end system as an ATM switch (for example). Switch should not be
taken *too* literally, though.
But transaction processing is a bit too strong,

Well, I can think of a lot of things you might consider for chargeback,
like CPU, DASD, Tape, Network (bandwidth used maybe). It kind of
depends on what information you can collect any how hard it is to relate
to your customers.

These datasets are created by ISPF and you already have an other by the

just delete the duplicate. Perhaps, keep the one that is cataloged and
delete the other.

I understand why we have problem it is because we have duplicate copies of

But that should not be a source of your messages. Both of your res packs
should use the same master catalog (or at least, all of the aliases should
be the same). The two datasets in your post seem to be user datasets and
should be handled by correct

In that case, I think, you should to make a few changes. TSO-user datasets
should never be allowed to go on a SYSRES pack, especially, if you maintain

otherwise needed by z/OS to boot and run. Be sure to mount those
