I was bringing down an ISV product that monitors our DASD. JES2 was suspended not dead. ok now the truth....I was bringing down this software on one system and started to bring it down on the other before the first shutdown was complete. This software issues reserves for some reason and I think that since 2 shutdowns were taking place at the sometime had something to do with it. It was a timing thing.

Please advise. > > Thanks > Dean > > Dean Montevago The big question is "WHY did the other system have the lock held?" If the other system is DEAD and DOWN (i.e. an IPL is going to be done on it), then resetting the checkpoint lock is OK. If the other system is "suspended" for some reason (such as lack of CPU due to being in a low-priority LPAR or DASD reserve or ???), then resetting the lock might cause data corruption on the SPOOL. JES2 will likely recover from this, but the affect job/tso/stc might die. -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
