Is SDSNLINK in LPA or LINKLST or Both?

If LNKLST, you can do the following, Depending on your shops set up

If you have not installed PDSCLEAN from CBTTAPE.ORG, see if you can do that.  
It Empties a PDS or PDS/e dataset so there might be room for everything after 
you do this

Next, if you do not have PDSCLEAN from CBTTAPE.ORG - then you may have to 
manually delete members and compress the dataset.

Next if all else fails

  Depending on how many members are in your dataset and whether the updated 
modules can fit in the existing dataset.
1a) Allocate a new SDSNLINK (call it SDSNLINK.BKUP)
1b) MOVE all members from SDSNLINK to SDSNLINK.BKUP
1c) Compress SDSNLINK
1d) See if the new code will fit in the existing dataset without expanding it
1e) If it does, do an LLA UPDATE or SETPROG LPA command to refresh 
2) try starting DB2.


If the dataset is still too small.  Create a new SDSNLINK dataset (call it 
SDSNLINK.NEW)
Copy all members from into it
REBUILD the LINKLST with the new SDSNLINK.NEW at the same time you may want 
this to delete SDSNLINK 

Not sure what to do about LPALIB. There might be a process in SETPROG LPA to 
add the new SDSNLINK.NEW modules in and replace all current Modules.

Try starting DB2



This is all best worked in a TEST environment where you can IPL in case of 
challenges.  You need to verify the process that will work for this situation 
you have



Note:  The limited size might be due to trying to replace what is currently in 
the dataset with new modules.  The PDSCLEAN or PDS commands from CBTTAPE.org 
will allow you to easily reset the Directory so that it is empty of all 
members.  There might be sufficient room to bring in the new modules.

This is may or may not work.  But it is the safest process you have rather than 
IPL

Yes, I am aware of the DB2 ERLY REFRESH command. but that authority has been 
taken away thru a third party too MZCA (long story)…..it will take time to get 
it back. In any case, due to limited size I need to reallocate my old SDSNLINK 
datasets.
