We have a SYSPLEX of four LPARs, each LPAR has a separate Master Catalog and a separate User Catalog defined to the Master Catalog.
Each Master Catalog has an alias called JUNK, which is defined to a User Catalog. If I define a dataset on all four LPARs called JUNK.DATASET, I have four separate files, each residing in their own SMS Storage Group. If I open the JUNK.DATASET with exclusive control on the first LPAR, I would think that I cannot open the JUNK.DATASET with exclusive control on the other LPARs. Is this correct ? If so, is there a way to get around it ? I am thinking this is a GRS issue but I do not have any proof. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
