APAR PQ50760 describes a looping condition with two migration processes and high and low migration thresholds set to zero. This condition occurred for TSM V4.1.2 for OS/390 with two migration processes and high and low thresholds set to 10 and 5 respectively. In this condition, no commands are processed, including HALT. No other work is processed either. Cancelling the server and restarting it does not help because the migration processes are restarted automatically and the loop is entered again. I applied the local fix in APAR PQ50760 and was able to avoid restoring the TSM database. The fix is to start the server with the undocumented option NOMIGRRECL which prevents migration on server startup. ___________________________________ William White Mainframe Services Group International Computing Centre (ICC) e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
