Resolution

Multi-image Integrity (MII) ENQ Management Definitions for Endevor:

MII has two operating modes, ALLSYSTEMS mode and SELECT mode. The ENQ management definitions for Endevor that you will need to place in MII's MIMQNAME Parmlib member will depend on which mode MII is operating.

To determine which operating mode your active MII address space is running in, issue the MIM "F MIM,D INIT" command and review the results.

Specifically, you will want review the MIM1019I command response message to determine whether you have PROCESS=ALLSYSTEMS or PROCESS=SELECT in effect.

GRS DEFINITIONS FOR ENDEVOR:

If you are using IBM Global Resource Serialization (GRS), the following queue name considerations apply:
  • There should be no reason to have INCL statements for Endevor QNAMEs. Using the CON converts the RESERVE on the volume, and by default GRS will include the SCOPE=SYSTEMS enqueue for global propagation.
  • Only the QNAMES of SPFEDIT, SYSIEWLP, ENDEVOR, and CTLIMSTR are used with RESERVE W/SCOPE=SYSTEMS + UCB locks. The remaining QNAMES, CTLIPROC, and CTLIELEM are used with ENQUEUEW/SCOPE=SYSTEMS.

Sample definition for when your site decides to CONVERT RESERVEs:
