ROUTE command not working is a completely separate issue. It won't happen if
that LPAR is outside of the sysplex. You'll need a console on that system. Use
the HMC
Created eleven datasets, ANT.DELETE.TEST, where was to 0010.
Migrated the first 5 files (TEST000 to TEST0004) yes, used IBM's HSM, and
on a z/OS 2.1 LPAR.
Ran an IDCAMS job to delete the files, output from job was:

All that UCLIN does is get rid of the GLOBAL zone pointers to the
Tzone/Dzone's. It does nothing to the tzone/dzone themselves or to the
(presumably separate) VSAM clusters that contain those Tzone/Dzone's. You can
delete the VSAM clusters either before or after, it doesn't matter, since the
It depends on how much a z/OS site needs, or doesn't need, precise timing.
Server Timer Protocol can add a leap second at the appropriate time (goes into
a wait for the second), or it can gradually 'steer' the time over seven hours,
gradually correcting the system time.

Catalog performance generally isn't any kind of problem if you are using
Enhanced Catalog Sharing, or, better, Record Level Sharing on the catalogues.
Having said that, catalogues shouldn't get so large that they use more than one

As mentioned, thoroughly inappropriate to use /tmp for mass Serverpac
/ShopzSeries downloads or decompressions. I have always used a personal zFS
for such purposes (SMPNTS, or SMPWKDIR). Which can be easily
re-sized/re-mounted depending on needs.
I'm wondering what the OP thinks SYSTEM/tmp is
Is CIM (from both ASPG and Hostsystems GmbH) the one and same product? Supplier
dependent on country?
Of course, there is always the free ICFRU, documented in the IBM Managing
Catalogs manual.

Exactly. The OP is looking for a free ride. I will also point out that the book
is somewhat dated, and there have been improvements to JCL since (access to
system symbols, promotion of such to SYSIN, PARMDD, etc.).
