You can do it (carefully) with OMEGAMON, but it's error-prone and tricky (as previously stated). It's documented in a separate manual that the vendor advises be kept under lock and key, which I agree with.
We let people free up CCA on the development box, since the alternative was an IPL. This barely lasted a week; somebody logged on the Production OMEGAMON and freed CSA for Production Online, with disastrous results!

Remember that CSA and ECSA can overflow to SQA and ESQA, so you have more air in you (E)CSA than the 2% and 3% and this might help you survive until the next scheduled IPL.

Now the DB2 system is down but still the ECSA and CSA are at 97% and 98%. Is it possible to release the Unused Storage without IPLing ?
