Re: ISPF FREED SYS1.PARMLIB

Hi all,
Ugh - Long days & short nights has taken it's toll on me. Instead of viewing
our shared SYS1.PARMLIB with 'V' in ISPF, I instead freed it with 'F'. Yeah I
know, F & V are not even on the same row on the keyboard. Now
SYS1.PARMLIB is 100% used. I've allocated 'SYS1.PARMLIB.SIZE' with the
original primary, 0 secondary. Would it be safe to:

1) IEBCOPY the freed SYS1.PARMLIB into the SYS1.PARMLIB.SIZE,
2) rename the freed SYS1.PARMLIB to SYS1.PARMLIB.DONT.DELETE,
3) finally rename SYS1.PARMLIB.SIZE to SYS1.PARMLIB?

Searching the archives makes me think I'd be fine, what with all of the topics
relating to compressing PARMLIB, but I'd rather ask outright about the whole
rename/swap idea.

I have system specific PARMLIBs concatenated before SYS1.PARMLIB, so any
required changes could be made there if D37 issues arise before the next IPL.

Thanks, and any suggestions would be helpful!


Before you lose sleep over this, you might want to investigate the SETLOAD
command to establish a (new) PARMLIB concatenation (with slightly different
dataset names, then switch back when you have things pieced back
together).

Before you do that, however, you might want to be sure of your RACF (et al)
situation - security folks tend to get huffy when PARMLIB shifts around on
them. (Mostly they get that way when they know that auditors will be getting
extra-huffy with the security folks for letting the sysprogs get too slippery.)
