IEBEDIT followed by a wait program (just because the command has been submitted doesn't mean it will execute before you issue the next one). If you want a sample, let me know. I used this procedure to roll staging sysres volume to an alternate resvol. Dick HFHS Mainframe Administration

Mike, Don't issue the vary until JES2 (and everything else) is down and you've done a Z EOD to clear various buffers (like SMF). After the vary offline has completed be sure to issue a RESET CLEAR for that system on the HMC. You have been ill advised. Dick Mike Myers [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Even here, a $PJES2,ABEND - END would be preferable. Then you could do he Z EOD. Barbara Nitz [EMAIL PROTECTED] 6/3/2008 7:20 AM It just doesn't sound right to me. It would make more sense that JES2 could shut itself down cleanly than just pulling the rug out from under it by abruptly

Access thru XCF depends on whether the file-system is sysplex-aware. If so, (like a R/O HFS) then access is local unless the requesting system does not have DASD access. In that case, XCF to owning system is required. The R/O VERSION ROOT FS should have local access to all sharing systems -
