This option is documented in the memo.ptf that comes with the CSD. Do you think IBM would tell you to do this if it wasn't safe? Yes, you can replace in-use files, but you have to reboot your system to do that. Just think what happens when you install a Windows ServicePack. Basically you are replacing your whole OS: the system dlls, drivers, and even the kernel itself. And you are doing this while your system is running! The reason the CSD install fails is because it simply wants to avoid the reboot. I used listdlls and process explorer in the past and they are very useful, but if your environment can tolerate a few minutes outage while you reboot your server then don't waste your time trying to track down locked dlls. (Of course you should always stop your queue manager and all amq* and runmq* processes :-) Instructions for managing your mailing list subscription are provided in the Listserv General Users Guide available at http://www.lsoft.com Archive: http://vm.akh-wien.ac.at/MQSeries.archive
