Hello, I first came across the CATALOG ENQUEUE problem with ADRDSSU DUMP with GENERIC INCLUDE MASK in 2001. In general the use of the CSI catalog search interface does provide a shorter catalog enqueue elapsed time. The bypass solution we came up with was to provide a 300 line REXX exec to bu

Usually when you convert from one vendor product (CA MIM) to another vendor Product (IBM GRS) the vendor - IBM - should be able to assist you with the conversion. Both products are stable, so the conversion from the CA MIM to a GRS RNL definition in SYS1.PARMLIB should be fairly simple. If you
