Cause

3rd Party VSAM performance software was causing conflict.

Resolution

Run IDCAM LISTCAT to confirm the VSAM definitions are correct for the file. If they are correct and there are no other problems noted in the LISTCAT,  confirm there are no third party VSAM utilities in use. Only CA LSERV and IBM RLS is certified for use under Endevor. Exclude Endevor VSAM files from any other VSAM utility (ex. Startool, VELOCI-Raptor). 

 

To disable the STAR TOOL from this step can you add this DD to the step:

//ULT@SOFF DD DUMMY

Strongly recommend disabling Star Tool for all Endevor Datasets.
