Re: Old Linklist set use after new set activation
The OP's scenario is likely incomplete and/or in some way inaccurate. If you restart a task that has no bearing on anything. If you start a new address space, or start a new job in an initiator, that new work unit will be using the now-current LNKLST.

Old Linklist set use after new set activation.
Hello Everyone, We had something happen here that led me to do some looking at our linklists. To make a long story short, our z/OS guys had to update the linklist and we ended up with three sets called L0 (the original after the last IPL), N0 (the 1st new one), and N1 (the 2nd new one). In the course of researching the first issue I found that we had 3 CICS regions that were using set L0. The sequence of events were... 7/7 - IPL with set L0 7/15 - An old SDFHLINK was removed from the linklist and set N0 was ACTIVATE'd. 7/20 - The 3 subject CICS's were cycled (as they are every week) with START=COLD. 7/21 - Our original issue was encountered so the old SDFHLINK was put back in the linklist and set N1 was ACTIVATE'd. So today I used D PROG,LNKLST,USERS,NOTCURRENT and there I find my 3 CICS regions still using set L0. My understanding of linklist and new set activations is that once a task is stopped and restarted, the new iteration of the task will start using the currently active linklist set. If this is the case, why did the new iterations of these regions start back up using the original set L0? What am I missing? These are CICS/TS 4.2 regions run as jobs under JES3 under z/OS 1.12.

Re: Old Linklist set use after new set activation.
After a lead from someone on the CICS-L listserv and doing some research, it appears the z/OS guy may have needed to, but did not do, an LLA REFRESH after doing the ACTIVATE commands. -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN

No. LNKLST ACTIVATE updates LLA. I suspect that the sequence of events described in your earlier post is not accurate. -- Tom Marchant -- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
