... as prompted by another post ..... yes IDCAMS ALTER only changes the TCDB - There is no outboard communication. To change a category outboard you have to go via OAM .... Iether from ISMF or rmm (or another tms perhaps - some have sync options) All you can do is change the STATUS o PRIVATE/SCRATCH and OAM uses the DEVSUPxx specified values to set the outboard category. So DEVSUPxx must be correct and you have to be on the correct partition.
ISMF allows you to change the STATUS to the same value it already is...... which can result in category change. rmm will not direct via OAM unless the status really changes - so you may need to go scratch-> master->scratch Usually 000F category is PRIVATE on all partitions - only SCRATCH volumes have different categories based on the partition.
