    Hello,
    As we participate in the 2.5 RBP, we'd like to know why job IZUD05RN has the DEFINE PATH statement for ZFS files.  Also, why is the NAME and PATH entry the same?

    IZUD05RN

    LISTCAT -
    ENTRY(TARGSYS.SYS1.AZD.V252104.SAZDZFS) -
    CATALOG(CATALOG.MSTRMZB.V2R5)
    IF LASTCC = 0 THEN DO
    ALTER -
    TARGSYS.SYS1.AZD.V252104.SAZDZFS -
    NEWNAME(SYS1.AZD.V252104.SAZDZFS) -
    CATALOG(CATALOG.MSTRMZB.V2R5)
    ALTER -
    TARGSYS.SYS1.AZD.V252104.SAZDZFS.* -
    NEWNAME(SYS1.AZD.V252104.SAZDZFS.*) -
    CATALOG(CATALOG.MSTRMZB.V2R5)
    IF LASTCC = 0 THEN -
    DEFINE PATH( -
    NAME(SYS1.AZD.V252104.SAZDZFS) -
    PATHENTRY(SYS1.AZD.V252104.SAZDZFS)) -
    CATALOG(CATALOG.MSTRMZB.V2R5)

    Thanks

    Caleb, not sure why I didn't see this post before, sorry about that.  You're right, the DEFINE PATH command using the same data set name on the NAME and PATHENTRY operands doesn't smell right.  Is "TARGSYS" the temporary catalog alias you specified in the deployment configuration?  Do you see this behavior with any other data sets?
