Re: JES2 convert to dynamic proclibs in a MAS

2009-10-17 Thread james smith

Was playing with this in the sandbox a few weeks back.

Basically we changed the JES2 proc member - commented out PROC00.   Defined
PROC00 in the JES2 parms. member.  Then issued a $PJES2,ABEND followed by a
hot start on each MAS member.

If you are making the change in PROD you may want to hold your INITS while
you make the change.

Otherwise no issues to report

 Does anyone have experience converting JES2 from static proclibs to dynamic
 proclibs in a MAS?

 Do I need to bring down all members before restarting the MAS using the
 dynamic proclib definitions or can I warm start a single member with dynamic
 proclibs while the rest of the members continue to use the static proclibs?

 Are there any other issues I need to think about?

 Thank you,
 Luke Rabbe

You can do it one at a time (and hot start is good enough).

You actually could do it dynamically (which would override what is in
the JES2 JCL), but the syntax is not the most user friendly thing (per
another thread it would be nice for this function especially if you
could  $ADD PROCLIB,MEMBER=xxx to read the $ADD PROCLIB 
command from a parmlib member).

Can't think of any at the moment.  Some software products may not fully 
support it.  I think I remember issues with some JCL check type products that
needed the libraries coded manually in one way or another.   But since
this has been around since z/OS 1.2 (I think that was it), there should be
support by now an any software you are running that needs the PROCLIB
concatenation for its own use.
