Remember, the connection and the structure are *also* in the CF, not just in some control blocks in MVS.

The only other way is to do the initial IPL on the new CFs with freshly formatted CFRM CDSs (which incidentally we always do - guess why!). The past is the past -- perhaps you should retry your experiments with current software and see if things have changed? My experience is recent and it seems to be substantially different from yours.
The old connections to old CF structures are indeed gone - without going out to the old CF to do it, so your explanation (above) seems to be in need of additional data or additional experiments. We kept our old CFRM - what we DID use was a new, different policy since the old CF had a different model number (same serial#) as the new CF. We activated the new policy, FORCEd any non-pending structures and we were good to go. My guess as to why you do what you do is because you found a path that worked for you. That's fine, but there is another path that works... for me and for Cwi, too.
