I though I tie off the thread for the curious. As suspected by Skip and others, single-member warm-start removed these devices from each member in a rolling IPL, thus a successful sweeping of some cosmic debris. I cannot say whether a hot-start would have sufficed.
For the record, we removed several dozen printers, e.g.: PRT(nnn) CLASS=ccc,... two REMOTE definitions, e.g.: RMT(nnnn) DEVTYPE=tttttt,LUNAME=llllllll,... R(nnn).PR(n) ... R(nnn),RD(n) ... R(nnn).PU(n) ... and DESTIDs for the RMTs: DESTID(llllllll) DEST=NnnnRnnnn I know there is a $DEL DEStid, but since we had to IPL for the others, I just let these roll off with the lot. Since this experiment, I intend to follow up with: 1) RCF against the JES2 Init & Tuning Ref to clarify the minimum requirement for removal of such definitions (again, add and modify are spelled out, but I am wont to find such explicit description for delete) 2) RFE against JES2 to provide $DEL commands for other devices where possible/practical, such as PRTs and RMTs Thanks and regards, Art Gutowski General Motors, LLC ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
