Alan, In OS/390 V2.9 (I think) IBM provided an mvs command called CMDS. It can display or remove various types of MVS commands from the queue. You might want to put a trigger in place to issue the CMDS SHOW when this job starts to see what all else might be going on. CMDS D or CMDS DISPLAY

Re: IEBCOPY losing APF authorisation in middle of JOB.

2010-04-16 Thread Lizette Koehler
PDSMAN has a facility called FASTCOPY that will intercept the call to IEBCOPY (This is in the PDSMAN Parms) and use FASTCOPY instead. You can tell when FASTCOPY is used because in the SYSOUT instead of IEBI messages you will see FCOI messages. So you might have PGM=IEBCOPY coded, but

Let me add one more point. If you have PDSMAN and it is intercepting IEBCOPY. If the STC for PDSMAN is down you would only see IEB messages and not FCO. And this could create some interesting issues. If you do not use PDSMAN's Fastcopy, then having the PDSMAN STC down would be less of a

Peter, If the expectation is that PDSMAN's FASTCOPY replaces IEBCOPY, then yes, a change to the $IEBCOPY statement in the parms could have an affect. Determine the following 1) Is there an LMP Key for FASTCOPY? 2) What was the change that required NEWRULES? Can you compare the previous parm

What was used to restore the dataset? FDR, DFDSS, ??? Some have RENAME capability that can be used to put it down as a cataloged vsam dataset, then you could copy (REPRO) to the correct dataset name. There is also a RECAT option on the DEF VSAM function. You might want to review that. Lastly

My understanding is that this issue goes away (or is mitigated) with z/OS V1.12. Indirect cataloging is available for VSAM in 1.12 but not before. Our process is to have the zFS on a separate volume and use the SYSR1 to handle the various datasets at IPL. For example. SYS1.OMVS.ROOT.Z19RS1

Another thought might be an automation solution. If the IEF message has FTP in the statement for this specific mount or there is a way to determine that this flavor is for FTP, then you could have automation (like OPS/MVS) trap the messages and automatically reply CANCEL. Lizette Fred
