I can see the Catalog services are available. Ah. not a RACF shop. I remember long ago in an ACF2 shop that I had a problem allocating the ACF2 rules data set. What I had to do there was totally remove the catalog entry and start up ACF2 in "fail safe" mode. Or something like that. This was over 20 years ago, so it's a bit fuzzy. What I might try, since your ESM is not up, is to put a PROC in SYS1.PROCLIB which looks something like: //NOTHING PROC //NOTHING EXEC PGM=IEFBR14 //NOTHING DD DISP=SHR,DSN=QWS.SEC.RULES And then see what happens when you do the command: S NOTHING,SUB=MSTR This might, or might not, give you some more information. Is JES2/3 up? If so, is the SPOOL shared so that you can see the new system's MVS SYSLOG on the old system. Or are you using the OPERLOG, and if so, can you view that on the old system? > > Nathan > > On Thu, Aug 27, 2015 at 6:15 PM, John McKown <john.archie.mck...@gmail.com > > > wrote: > > > On Thu, Aug 27, 2015 at 7:36 AM, Andrew Rowley < > > and...@blackhillsoftware.com > > > wrote: > > > > > Stretching my memory, isn't there something about VSAM files can only > be > > > cataloged in 1 catalog, unless they are SYS1.* datasets?

Yoda of Borg, we are. Futile, resistance is, yes. Assimilated, you will be.
