AW: Re: AW: Jobs hanging in status Awaiting Conversion (JES2) (solved)
I would also shout Agh! At what JES2 and z/OS level are you? Or does that not matter? No, its not the fault of JES2, so the software levels do not matter. -- Peter Hunkeler -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
AW: Jobs hanging in status Awaiting Conversion (JES2) (solved)
Any idea what to look for? Arrrgh. JES2 INDependent mode hit us again I stumbled over this earlier this year when job output was not purged. TWS is the culprit. See JES2 not purging output on PURGE queue in the JES2 list (Jan 2015), if interested in details. -- 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
Jobs hanging in status Awaiting Conversion (JES2)
I know there is a JES2 list, but this list is usally more responsive and we're somewhat in a rush to find a solution. We're somewhat lost. In support of our storage colleages, we've shutdown both systems in out maintenance plex, and re-ipled one with only basic functions such as JES2, VTAM, TSO. Intent was to be able to run some storage jobs against the zFSs. We're facing the problem that jobs we submit are hanging in status Awaiting Conversion. We've done all sorts of displays and checks, especially all that is mentioned in the elder JES2 Level2 Bit Bucket. The 4 converter PCEs are idle, there is no (visible) GRS contention. Started tsks and TSO logons are working.

Re: Jobs hanging in status Awaiting Conversion (JES2)
To all who kindly replied to help poor Peter... I believe Peter Hunkeler resolved this, but because his replies start with 'AW:' instead of 'RE:', I'm wondering if you missed that post from him? I repeat what he wrote: Any idea what to look for? Arrrgh. JES2 INDependent mode hit us again I stumbled over this earlier this year when job output was not purged. TWS is the culprit.

Re: Jobs hanging in status Awaiting Conversion (JES2)
Did you go into SDSF and issue the I next to a job awaiting conversion? What did it show? Check for route cards or other assignment statements. This might be due to a system name not being available. Can you post JCL in this state? It would help to determine the issue.

Re: Jobs hanging in status Awaiting Conversion (JES2)
I would also use the $DN command and see if the ANY and IND parameters are in play. The ANY and IND refer only to jobs awaiting execution/conversion. Affinity is ignored for jobs awaiting print/punch processing; in this case, specifying ANY or IND results in a list of all waiting jobs.
