this is basically for the archives... Kevin, as I said in my private email to you, I didn't know how to find out how that message is 'spreading'. I took my own suggestion and ctraced the aof100i message. There appears to be a strong connection to Notify operators within Netview/Automation. We have two operators defined that on the 'issuing' system aren't necessarily logged on. Whenever they are logged on, the message is delivered there and doesn't even make it into MVS! When they are not logged on or when they are set to not receive notify messages, then the message is issued by automation netview as a normal wto and then basically braodcast all around all active consoles that get info and broadcast messages (which is just about every SDSF console). So now to get netview support to fix this stupid behaviour before we have to connect two sysplexes with each their own automation that may or may not react to messages issued on the wrong system. Thanks again for your help, best regards, Barbara -- Ist Ihr Browser Vista-kompatibel? Jetzt die neuesten Browser-Versionen downloaden: http://www.gmx.net/de/go/browser
