My guess is that the instantiation is a POST to the subtask related ECB and a WAIT on the other main task ECB (perhaps related to the subtask) and the undo is the reverse. Correct? At any rate, I wanted to allow task! a quantum of processing time before allowing task2 to continue. After that I

RACF doesn't know, so once you've deleted the GRANT from DB2 I don’t know of a way to find out what you lost (unless you can get it from a backup). But there are tables in DB2 that list all GRANTs, so you can export those to, say, Excel and do some sorting and other munging to get a sensible

You can't count on anything like that. Each task competes. But if the task is already set up, my question is more like "What's stopping it from running already?" I don't think I'm getting how you want these tasks to work together. I'll carry on regardless:- If the other task already has all it

Once you decide you can't fail back to old production, be sure to establish the new PPRC direction. If you IPL on the new dasd before setting up the PPRC you'll have to copy the new primaries back. If you swap before IPL at the new production site then you don't have to copy the new primaries to
