We're "playing with" RACF Pass phrase support in the sandbox, and using
the IBM-supplied ICHPWX11 / IRRPHREX exit routines to allow the shorter
9-character phrase length. At the moment, IRRPHREX is the only System
REXX in the entire sysplex that is invoked with TSO=YES, so only one
AXRnn address space gets spawned. So far, 'nn' has been '04' every
IPL, giving a job name of AXR04, but the generated job card also has
TIME=NOLIMIT so the address space stays even when the REXX completes.
This has thrown a monkey wrench into our automated shutdown, which
"waits" for AXR04 to "go away" (which it never does on its own, and it
ignores a STOP command).
The doc says there can be up to 8 of these AXRnn address spaces, so '01'
<= 'nn' <= '08'. What determines the value of 'nn' for the first (and
only, in our case) AXRnn address space, and how reliably will it choose
the same value in a new IPL?
Also, is there a way to "lose" the TIME=NOLIMIT on the generated job
card?
TIA,
