DSS BUILDSA behavior

2011-05-20 Thread Scott Rowe
Is it just me, or does it make no sense that the DSS BUILDSA function requires a dataset of F/80/80 to build a card deck? It won't accept FB/80/whatever, or even SYSOUT=B. I mean, it's not like anyone is going to actually IPL it from the dataset it is being written to. CONFIDENTIALITY/EMAIL NOTI

2011-05-10 Thread Scott Rowe
It's not IEBCOPY doing the allocation, it's XMIT, and the reason there is not VOLSER is because it doesn't care about the VOLSER, it just wants to allocate a temp dataset, and it can't find find a volume to allocate it on. I suspect that there was an SMS change that caused this. On Tue, May 10, 2

Maybe you should just change your logon clist to allocate the ISPPROF as SHR, rather than OLD, since ISPF is perfectly capable of sharing the ISPFPROF dataset now. On Tue, May 10, 2011 at 3:32 PM, Mueller, David < david.muel...@ssrc.myflorida.com> wrote: > Barry Schwarz said: ". . . you should a

My guess would be that XMIT is trying to allocate a temporary dataset, and if your SMS rules don't point temp datasets to an SMS pool, then it is trying to find a disk volume mounted as STORAGE or PUBLIC. Check to see if there has been a change to your SMS config that might have affected temp data

When you do the FlashCopy yourself like this, then HSM doesn't know that it is a backup of PTST00, so he doesn't look to this backup to restore a dataset on PTST00. It looks to me like you should be using FRBACKUP for this, so that it is HSM that is doing the FlashCopy, and he knows what the backu
