This situation only shows up with brand new CDS environment. So if you create new Couple datasets, then you lose the knowledge of the SHCDS datasets used by RLS.
I am so sure running a VARY command at IPL time is an appropriate correction. I think monitoring for the IGW611A message and then validating/taking action would be better. We are going to setup an OPS/MVS rule to do this should we do this again. In the meantime, I have engaged IBM and they have agreed that this would probably be a good change request. So, I will let the list know what the APAR name is, should you wish to watch for its closing. Either IGDSMSxx or COUPLExx will be modified, I think. Probably IGDSMSxx My concept is the names be placed in IGDSMSxx along with the RLSINIT(YES) parm. Then the process could 1) Verify they exist, and if they do continue 2) If they do not exist or are invalid, issue a message.
