personally have not used the debugging tool but I'm sure there are

Looks like there are manuals for the version 16.0, 15.0 and 14.2

Jason, I did something similar to what David suggested. I created a list of
datasets from DCOLLECT that had been allocated but never opened. I then ran a
REXX routine that read the list to open/close the datasets. At that point I

I'll go a little different route. If the real issue is with the dollars for

Tom, I think whoever is responsible for this project is going to have to come

CL/Supersession. I don't think the Solve software will help you much in this
situation.
Technically the CICS program does not need a MAP
Hi Tom..
Let me start by saying I don't know anything about Solve.
Now to my question. Are you talking about individual CICS transactions going
away or are you talking about the whole CICS region going away?
If you are talking about individual CICS transactions then you could handle

Alan, I'm curious how long had the lpar (system) been up when this issue
happened.
I've seen issues with the number of non-reusable ASIDs growing over time
related to how long a lpar is up and how active things are related to cross
memory connects. What I'm getting at is if you have some tasks

Gadi, I have to ask. Are trying to delete backups of individual datasets or
the actual tapes created during dataset backup processing?
If you are trying to manage the actual backups of individual datasets, have
you looked at the different management classes used for the datasets?

Okay this wakes up some retired brain cells. Because tasks communicate across
XCF (even when you don't know about it) they have to have a unique identifier
for things to work properly. Some tasks will create a unique identifier by
default and some will not. I forgot about that little item.
Jake, I agree you need to identify what record types are needed for the
sizing operation. After you know which record types (and subtypes) you may
not need to do anything. As an example, I can't think of any sensitive data
that might be in the SMF type 7x records.

I'm not sure I have an answer for you at this time. But I do have a few
questions.
Are the JES2 checkpoint datasets for the two systems the same name?
Are the VOLSERs the same name?
I don't have access to any z/OS anymore but when I did, we had three different
JES2 MAS in one sysplex and
subprogram, then you only compile
and link it with the debug logic generated/activated.

Peter, I'll start by saying I've never used this option. It does sound
interesting. From what I have read would you not also need the "WITH

Greetings Bob,
I was looking through my old JCL library and ran across several examples of
scans using ISRSUPC. Depending on what you want to do you could try
ISRSUPC. If you have access to JOBSCAN you could try it. If you client has

Peter, several people have given you some good suggestions. There are a few
things you need to think about.
1) As others have said, EQSA overflow is not a bad thing as long as your ECSA
is okay. At the place I last worked at we routinely saw ESQA overflow on some
of our larger lpars that had
Peter, I've also have taken the attitude that SQA or ESQA overflow is not
necessarily a bad thing as long as you are not running short of CSA or ECSA.
As Martin mentioned you don't want to run out of CSA/ECSA.
There are a few things that I've done over the years.
