Change the dd def to "disp=shr" in the TSM procedure - don't let tsm have
exclusive control.

Did you know that this job will still work with the dddef for //OPT
commented out or left out.
I discover this when I decided I did not want to shutdown my TSM server

Hi,

TSM Server (Version 5.1.8.0) running on OS390 2.10 (in the near future
Z/OS)

Up to now I always halted the TSM Server to define & format  additional
volumes
See example JCL below :

        //ALLOCAT  EXEC PGM=IDCAMS
        //SYSPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=*
        //SYSIN     DD  *
            DEFINE CLUSTER(NAME(ADSM.DB06) LINEAR MB(2341) VOL(ADSM21))
        /*

        //ADSMFMT  EXEC PGM=DSMFMT,DYNAMNBR=300,COND=(0,NE,ALLOCAT),
        //         PARM='/ADSM.DB06'
        //OPT       DD  DSN=ADSM.ANRSERV.OPTIONS,DISP=SHR
        //DSMAMENG  DD  DSN=TIVSM.V5R1M0.SANRMSG(ANRMENU),DISP=SHR
        //SYSPRINT  DD  SYSOUT=*
        //SYSTERM   DD  SYSOUT=*
        //*

Because the TSM Server options file (//OPT) is in exclusive use by the TSM
started task
I have to stop the TSM Server before being able to execute the format job.

Up to now there was no real problem with halting the server for a few
minutes to do this, but it is becoming
more and more difficult (even impossible) to find a moment where I can
stop the server (due to API-clients
which are accessing the server randomly) without causing archive/restore
problems.

I think this problem should be solved by simply using another options file
name (which is a copy from the original one)
for the format job (and TSM Server keeps running in the meantime).

Can I do this ? Or do I forget something and MUST I stop the TSM Server ?

Thanks for any info.

Best regards,
