DUPLICTE DSN:
G'Day I am trying to delete a duplicate dsn via TSO. Since the
cataloged version which resides on volume MPR003 is in use, I
thought that I could rename the duplicate dsn which resides on
MPR027. However when I try to rename the dsn (via TSO) it gave me
the message "Duplicate data set name" followed by "Data set is
cataloged on a volume other than MPR027". Both volumes are managed
by SMS. Is there some other tactic I could employ? Thanks.
Since the problem is that the DSN Name is enqueued upon (which is
pointing at another dataset with the same name) you need to rename
the dataset you want to delete (so it is not a duplicate of a dataset
with a current ENQ). One way to do this is to use SUPERZAP to edit
the VTOC entry to alter the dataset name. Once this is done you can
then do the delete. This may leave a orphan record in the VTOCIX
which may cause errors in the future if you try to allocate the
dataset name on that volume in the future (I do not know). There may
be some RACF issues to be allowed to run the SUPERZAP which might
need to be looked into.
