And XCF/XES is very bad in not providing any cleanup abilities for anything sysplex related. Did you try a structure rebuild? There was a time when that would have gotten rid of these sturctres because there was no place to build them into. These days the rebuild might just be denied. If rebuild doesn't work, a sysplex IPL without those structures defined is your only chance. > > Just like XCF will always remember that at one time a certain couple data set (ARM in our case) used to be active.

You can turn IRD off effectively in IEAOPT00 by disabling its functions, but that does not remove the structures, nor probably the overhead of WLM's exchange of information. I tried the Rebuild, and it rebuilds perfectly, leaving the structures in a pending delete status. For the mentioned Logstream problem, I suggested a 'drain' status, current connections keep on working, but no new connections are permitted, but this was rejected. A similar function seems useful for structures, but I am afraid I will get the same answer. Luckily this is our test Sysplex, so I can schedule a Sysplex wide IPL, but this will be a real problem in production sysplexes.
