We've had a delay which seems to be caused by a problem with catalog processing. Automation regularly issues some MODIFY CATALOG and D GRS commands.
Below is an extract from the response to F CATALOG,LIST (IEC347I) IEC347I LIST CATALOG TASK(S) CAS****************************************************************FLAGS - TASK ADDRESS - JOBNAME / STEPNAME - ELAPSED TIME - ID *-W-E-- 0079C130 P0ANYJOB / DB2RUN 00.01.44 01 * WAITING FOR BCS ENQ Shr Sys FROM 23136534 FOR 00.01.44 *... long list of wainting task follows here.... I tried to find out what the last line above, specifically the 8 digit number behind "FROM" are telling me? All of the waiters show the identical 8 digit number. Could not find it, neither in "Managing Catalogs", nor in "System Messages -> IEC347I" nor did GIYF help. Is this useful information at all when trying to find the causer of the delay? GRS tells the catalog that probably is causing the delay: S=SYSTEMS SYSIGGV2 SYS1.CATALOG.PLEX.P0.UCAT10SYSNAME JOBNAME ASID TCBADDR EXC/SHR STATUSSYSA CATALOG 0033 009AC258 SHARE OWNSYSC CATALOG 0033 00989BC8 EXCLUSIVE WAIT.... long list of waiters follows here... -- Peter Hunkeler -- Peter Hunkeler ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
