I believe that you can have a mixed CTN where one CEC doesn't have STP, but in

implications are from converting from a pure STP

A migration from STP-only to Mixed CTN may take considerable time due to the

You've hit the problem, we have two z196 processors that are STP

Nope. That's when you use base sysplex. XCF over FICON CTC - the configuration

Hello Baby,
You seem to be using sysplex shared file systems.
If you do the fuser -cu /JAVA64 command under UID=0 you will see who is
currently using that file system.
Preferably, that /JAVA64 folder should be a symbolic link, pretty much like
your /usr, /var and so. That would require some

If doing it from a program, you can go one of the complicated routes of
- Using IXCQUERY REQINFO=COUPLE,PLEXNAME=outputplexname or
- Using ASASYMBM to substitute for SYSPLEX
or you can go the easy route of looking at ECVTSPLX.

IIRC, one of the 'Z' variable in ISPF contains the active SYSPLEX name and
another the current SYSID.

The z/OS operator command: d symbols will do it. It is a static system
symbol. Or run a batch job with SYSPLEX in the JCL somewhere and look at
the output.

Multiple ways, but I would probably just use D XCF. If you are looking
for a TSO command, you need something home grown to look at symbols
or variables in ISPF.One

The easiest way is to issue WHO command at SDSF prompt which gives you
user attributes and SYSPLEX name is one of them. It can even be issued
from REXX.
SDSF Operation and Customization manual explains the command in detail
