Re: RES volume Copy before Indirect Cataloging

Are your libraries already indirectly cataloged? Is it the current master cat or a new master cat? Once a datasets is indirectly cataloged, it should come up on the correct volumes based on how you IPL the system. So are you asking about VOL=** Or VOL= And if you have a sysprog sand

Re: Dataset enqueue, how to find the culprit.

The problem is that the SVC99 dynamic allocation is unconditional. If the resource is already owned, the subsequent allocation request fails. At that point there is no enqueue conflict to show in any monitor because no exclusive or shared waiter was added for that resource in the GRS list.
