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 Lizette -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List <[email protected]> On Behalf Of Bill Giannelli Sent: Saturday, October 17, 2020 1:49 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: getting XCFAS down 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.
