Been there done that, got the t-shirt. Me to ops manager "we need to IPL ASAP due to CA-ACF2 CSA storage creep, CSA will run out very soon". Ops manager to me "no way we are going to IPL in the middle of the day". I told him do not call me when the system goes down tonight in the middle of batch!. About 23:00 that night I get called from operations, the system just went down. The shop ran IDMS, and an UPDATE batch job that ran CV, had been running for 3+ hours. I told them to call the ops manager. He told operations to IPL, and it took 3+ hours for IDMS to back out the updates from the batch job. Plus, they had to run the job again. Online IDMS was several hours late coming up the next day. What did the ops manager save... time, face, his rear-end???
