Re: Overlap Error
The situation you are seeing does fit with problems that occur using the DISP=OLD updates, as another poster has previously pointed out. The role of PDSMAN in this seems to be as the bearer of bad news. Both the PDSM13 Library Map and Analysis utility and the FastCopy facility (a high-speed transparent replacement for IEBCOPY) have detected the overlap error and are reporting it so that problem determination can be done. PDSMAN does NOT change the characteristics of your PDS libraries. From the information in your post, it appears that you are working with what you can consider a vanilla PDS. PDSMAN has brought the problem to light, but it has not caused the problem. As you search for the cause, consider turning on the PDSMAN Enqueue Checking facility for this library. This facility detects when a library has been updated without the proper enqueues being performed and issues a message (it does not actually perform the enqueues) that allows you to more easily identify the offending program . This facility is documented in Chapter 6 of the Auditing and Comparison Facilities User Guide and under the $UPDATE ENQCHECK= parameter described in Appendix A of the Administrator Guide. Also, the PDSMAN support team is available to answer any other PDSMAN related questions you might have.

However, in your case, you are actually using PDSMAN, which is hardly vanilla. As I recall from experience with PDSMAN (now several-years-old experience), the characteristics of PDS data sets on a system with PDSMAN are different than the characteristics on vanilla z/OS systems. You should probably work with the PDSMAN vendor for help with your issues - you may have an environmental/setup problem, a known limitation, or perhaps you might have a new bug, that has resulted in these issues you've seen.

Re: LLA update
PDSMAN can update the full LLA or individual LLA libraries or members. It is done automatically, so that any update to the library or member -- linkedits, copies, compresses, PF3 (for non-load), or cross-system updates -- triggers the LLA update. PDSMAN also provides facilities for managing LLA and ensuring that LLA automatically stays in synchronization on all systems.

Re: PDSMAN Replacement
Mark - Something you should take into consideration about going the LLA-route with your large load library is how often the library is updated. Putting the library in LLA Freeze mode brings you directory search performance benefits, but can lead to problems when members are updated. This is the Dynamic part of the Dynamic BLDL facility. On the other hand, if you use LLA NoFreeze mode you lose much of the performance benefit you seek. Is there a particular reason you're being asked to remove PDSMAN?

We currently use the following functions: * PDSMAN Library Space Reuse facility * Dynamic BLDL Facility * Remote Data Compare I believe I can convert my PDS¹s to PDS/e¹s to negate the need for the Space Reuse facility. Likely true. However, remember that a PDSE cannot be shared except within a single SYSPLEX. If you try to share it across multiple SYSPLEXes or MONOPLEXes, then results are undefined and likely to be terrible (corrupted PDSEs). The Dynamic BLDL function causes me a little concern. I have inherited a situation where we have one massive load library that contains all batch online application programs. All batch jobs and online systems have either a JOBLIB or STEPLIB DD Statement that references this one library. Many years ago (well before my time) the techies turned off this PDSMAN feature and had very severe system performance issues for online and batch applications, resulting in this feature being re-enabled. I was think of splitting the library, perhaps by application to reduce the search time for none application code. Use LLA. It can be used to buffer any load library, not just the LINKLIST. ./ ADD NAME=CSVLLAnn LIBRARIES(-LNKLST-, NPHPN.PGM.LOADLIB, DCHPN.ENDEVOR.EZTPLUS.LOADLIB) FREEZE(-LNKLST-, NPHPN.PGM.LOADLIB, DCHPN.ENDEVOR.EZTPLUS.LOADLIB) ./ENDUP is an example. The remote Data Compare is used in batch to compare PDS¹s on the QA Production systems. A checksum is generated for each PDS and then compared. If a difference is found a WTO is posted (picked up by automation) that triggers a check of the libraries. I can't help with this one. Does anyone have any experience of replacing these functions and have any ideas of how to replace and any advice on the process?

First, YES - I did not read the PSP. So it is not a surprise I made a small miscalculation. In Dec 2007 there was a fix that was release for GIMUNZIP. It has to do with SB37 abends on SYSUT1 during the Unzip of a PDS/E (POE) data set. Apparently IBM has hardcoded in the GIMUNZIP process how much space to dynamically allocate for SYSUT1 when recreating the PDS/E data set from teh archive file. This is what causes the SB37. The SCEEMOD2 data set is much bigger today than under z/OS V1.7. So I had to install the following fixes UO00674 UO00678 and UO00649. Once I had these installed and added (apf' authorized) to the RECEIVE JOBLIB statement, everything is running much better. There are two issues that I will bring up with IBM at the next Share I attend. Why is this hardcoded and not part of an ARCHDEF control card statement? And two, we have FASTCOPY (PDSMAN) in shop. I have to manually add the JCL statement //FCOPYOFF DD DUMMY to all steps before I submit. Otherwise I get bad errors when FASTCOPY tries to work on PDSE data sets. Anyway, so much for not reading.
