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

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

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

Re: SMF record for PDS(E) member updates or adds?

2006-09-26 Thread King, Jeffrey E
John, PDSMAN cuts SMF audit records for all types of updates to PDS(E) members (except update-in-place). You control the data sets and members the records are written for as well as the type of update (add, delete or replace). You can also specify the SMF record number to be used. The format of
