Terri,
I had found the migration workflow here (of all places as a link for the
upgrade to the z15 that we just completed):
https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/SSLTBW_2.4.0/com.ibm.zos.v2r4.e0zm100/Export_zOS_V2R3_to_V2R5_Upgrade_Workflow.html
I wasn't too happy with it because it doesn't work offline,

From the other system, try forcing the connection of ISGLOCK#SYSA to the CF.
Take a dump from the other system of the XCF address space that also includes
the ISGLOCK structure
Is there a WTOR seen in other LPARs of the sysplex, asking to reply DOWN or
whatever?
That has bit me before (not with the below message).

Hi Bob,
Yes, the z/OS V2.5 Upgrade Workflow is available in PTF(s) on z/OS V2.3 and
V2.4, and in V2.5, and can be found in /usr/lpp/bcp/upgrade/. It is no longer
in github. The latest level of the Workflow is found in APAR OA61406 - which is
the level that contains all the links to the GA z/OS
I did a similar thing using the REXX/SDSF interface. Our particular problem
was collecting output from Windows jobs generated from Peoplesoft. We
needed to identify the originating z/OS job which was embedded in the
SYSOUT. Using the REXX/SDSF APIs, I read the SYSOUT and wrapped an IEBGENER

We use MacKinney System's "JES Report Broker" for the transmission (using FTP

When you use a model to initialize the deployment configuration, data sets
not managed by SMP/E, like the CPAC.* data sets, won't be initialized to
your existing data set naming conventions. The same is true for new data
sets that
If you have product such as VPS, CA-Spool or other product on your system that
controls printers, you should be able to do this with that product. I have a
client that use VPS to suck up all jobs that have an Output Class of Y and
sends it to server where the output is archived.
If JOBDEF INTERPET=JES the loop occurs in the JES2CI0x address space. If JOBDEF

Take a look at McKinney Systems JRB product. It's a chargeable. But, in our

You indicated that it depended on the setting for JOBDEF INTERPRET=. What is
your JOBDEF INTERPRET= setting that the problem occurs under? Also does the
loop occur if one defaults to DSENQSHR=ALLOW on the JOBCLASS setting? Just
curious.

We have the need to move jes2 sysout reports to a server in order to
archive them.
Is there a CBT utility that can do that?
I was thinking of using a rexx to access SDSF to get the list of sysouts
and then print to dataset thru SDSF and ftp the dataset to the server.
Is this a good idea?
Wow, I am not sure there is a generic answer. I hope I am wrong.
A FID in my understanding is kind of like a DD name -- it is only meaningful in
the context of a particular invocation of a program. "What file is FID 123?" is
like asking "what data set is SYSUT1?" At a given moment in a given

The "Order Details" that came with your order has a lot of them.

Your Global zone lists the FMIDs.

Hi Kurt. In answer to your question about my previous post:
We put the SMP/E target zone datasets on the target volume. The names in this
case are SMPE.ZOS250.MVST250.* which are unique in the system. The CSI is VSAM

Oh, and in the custompac dialogs, there are exactly 4 jobs that I run after
resolving new datasets that came along with the new release.
- allocate and catalog the datasets (ALLOCDS)
- restore the datasets (RESTORE)
- update SMPE DDDEFS (UP)
- and a modified version of RECATALOG datasets to
