After the normal shut down operation of cics region,when i try to restart the region from sdsf panel by invoking "/s XXXXXX,start=auto" ,it doesn't establish the cics session..It gives an o/p like some of the reserved datasets(eg. intrapartition dataset) are unavailable with a return code 04..I cant modify the datasets too,because its saying they are in use..Can you guyz suggest me a way to restart my cics region?
