Hello,

DSNIDBET RESOURCE UNAVAILABLE
You need to resolve why the resource was not available.

Suggest you work with your dba.

Hello,

Try running something in the "other" environment (if tso abends, try batch, etc).

Is it possible that some database dataset has been migrated?

The only thing different here was I ran some add/update/delete DML statements to upgrade Platinum tools from Sp1 to Sp2.
They all worked fine as per the logs.
Thanks,

Hello,

If the Platinum tool upgrade caused the problem, back out the upgrade and see if the problem persists or if it then works correctly.

Then open a trouble call with Platinum support and have all of the output from the upgrade available.

This is an SMPE install and the problem occured after the full installation so it cannot be backed out.
I have contacted Platinum support but so far they are unable to help.
They suspect its IBM DB2's issue and IBM also so far (more than a week) cannot resolve this.
I was checking if someone out there may have some valuable suggestion.

Do you mean you've already done the ACCEPT? If not, then of course you can REJECT and APPLY again later! If you did the ACCEPT before completing testing, WHY???

I've been dealing with SMP/E for a number of years and have never seen the term "full installation" in any of its documentation -- not from IBM, not from CA, not from anywhere. I've seen RECEIVE, APPLY, APPLY CHECK, ACCEPT, REJECT, LIST, ... but never "full installation".

The term full installation describes all the 3 steps of installation. Receive, Apply & Accept.
yes it has to be accepted before testing as after the Accept. Post install configuration kicks in
before you can even use the system. The post install runs DMLs which is where the corruption occured.
Thanks.

Hello,

Is there not a backup from just before the upgrade was installed? And hopefully, no other maintenance was applied after. . .

I'd suggest making sure there is follow up dialog with Platinum to get the process corrected. . . Seems completely wrong to force an accept before testing can be completed. . . :?

Possibly there is something i'm not aware of that makes this practice ok. . .
