Propagating enqueues to other MVS systems


Using the IMFEXEC command VENQ in REXX EXECs and CLISTs results in MVS enqueues for resources with a major name of BBIUSER and a minor name of the user-specified value. Therefore, you must ensure that SYSTEMS enqueues with the major name BBIUSER are propagated to all members of the Global Resource Serialization (GRS) complex.

In particular, if you use the Computer Associates (CA) pro duct MIM (Multi Image Manager), you must verify that SYSTEMS enqueues with the major name BBIUSER are propagated. Because you might have CA-MIM configured to downgrade SYSTEMS enqueues automatically, which prevents the BBIUSER enqueues from being propagated to other MVS systems.

If you use the CA-MIM product, CA-MIM customer support can help you verify that SYSTEMS enqueues with the major name BBIUSER are being correctly propagated to all MVS systems.
