I am wondering if recycling the TSO address space will correct

or will an IPL be necessary as SYS1.UADS is in the MSTJCL parmlib

Does anyone know?
UADS in allocated in the Master JCL. There is no standard
mechanism to deallocate and reallocate. You must re-IPL.
In general, UADS should only be used for emergency User IDs, i.e.,
when the security system (RACF, ACF2, Top Secret) is broken. If
you are
still using UADS for TSO information, you should consider
converting to using the security system to hold this information,
allowing you to
eliminate one more single point of failure in your systems.
Keith,
True... but don't other security systems have a similar issue (RACF
TS ACF2) ?
There is always something that can break, although I have never heard
of UADS breaking. I have heard of RACF DB "broke" (I believe it was
an operator issue) but it still can happen.
