Re: Useful little utility?
Even ardent GRS star advocates had a hard time buying this story some years ago. We had a single non-sharing system where a catalog management job ran many times longer than on any other system--even the feeble sysprog sandbox. In comparing systems, the only visible difference I could see was that this single system was still running GRS ring mode because hey, it was only a single system, why bother with star? On a pure guess, I converted this system to star mode even though it was not sharing with anyone else. From that moment onward, the catalog job ran there as well as anywhere else. Go figure. . .

Re: Useful little utility?
Rob, I've been playing with that too. ENQC is nice, shows plex-wide enq contention, ENQ not so much, kludgy IMO. By default ENQ is single system, and to enable all systems, you have to also specify major name. So ENQ SYSDSN * to get all systems in the plex. No way to pass any kind of filter on the major name, so you get (in my case, a list of 268K entries back) all data set names. Which you can then use a filter or find commands against, but why on earth no short cut? ENQC is easy enough that my operations staff can use it to see who is holding up a production batch job. However on occasion, they want to just "look up" a dataset to see if anyone is using it at that moment. I realize there are methods via ISPF 3.4, etc, or just issue the D GRS,RES=(SYSDSN,'DATA.SET.NAME') As for the "N", I've tried that too. I don’t know if something is wrong, but when I use that, it takes a good 15 seconds for the display to come back, and then its scope is only that single system. Once that list is produced, and you issue a "D" next to the dataset to display all enqueues, another 15 seconds, and even that display is single system. _ Dave Jousma Manager Mainframe Engineering, Assistant Vice President david.jou...@53.com 1830 East Paris, Grand Rapids, MI 49546 MD RSCB2H p 616.653.8429 f 616.653.2717 -Original Message- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU] On Behalf Of Rob Scott Sent: Tuesday, November 21, 2017 9:28 AM To: IBM-MAIN@LISTSERV.UA.EDU Subject: Re: Useful little utility? **CAUTION EXTERNAL EMAIL** **DO NOT open attachments or click on links from unknown senders or unexpected emails** Check out the new "ENQ" command in SDSF (2.1+) as it supports sysplex-wide ENQ information display.
