  • 1.  ISPF CKR sessions RESULT datasets are not deleted on Ending ISPF session.

    Posted Thu January 26, 2023 02:57 AM

    Hi,

    I always have "dead bodies" lying around from zSecure ( like the one below) , and have to clean them up manually.
    Is this normal behaviour ?

    ???.C2R1F80.CKRCMD
    ???.C2R1F80.CKRTCMD
    ???.C2R1F80.CKRTSPRT
    ???.C2R1F80.CKR2PASS
    ???.C2R1F802.CKRCMD
    ???.C2R1F803.CKRCMD
    ???.C2R12FF.CKRCMD
    ???.C2R12FF.CKRTCMD
    ???.C2R12FF.CKRTSPRT
    ???.C2R12FF.CKR2PASS
    ???.C2R12FF2.CKRCMD
    ???.C2R12FF3.CKRCMD

    Kind Regards,

    Peter

    Peter,

    In SE.0 (SETUP RUN), tick the first two flags to automatically delete those files.

    / Use permanent work data sets (CKRCMD is always permanent)
    / Delete permanent work data sets on exit

    Hi,

     

    Just to be complete:

     

    After testing I came to the conclusion:

    The options on the SE.0 Panel are only valid for ALL created datasets except the ...CMD files.

    To remove also the CMD files after closing the ISPF allocation, you should specify the CKRCMD allocation parameters with a DELETE options ( secondary Panel after you specify the allocation attributes ) on the SE.7 ( OUTPUT ) option.

    Hi Peter,

    I believe that depends on what you specify in SETUP RUN (SE.0).

    For example, I have:
                              zSecure Suite - Setup - Run                          
     Command ===> _________________________________________________________________
                                                                                   
     Enter "/" to select run option(s)                                             
     /  Use permanent work data sets (CKRCMD is always permanent)                  
        _  Delete permanent work data sets on exit                                 
     /  Allocate previous input files at startup                                   ​

    So in my setup that is indeed the expectation.

    Here is one of the help panels:
                                                                              
                                                                              
     Delete permanent work data sets on exit                                  
                                                                              
     When "Use permanent work data sets" is selected, the user interface      
     allocates six work data sets for the dialog:                             
                                                                              
       workpref.C2Rn<iiii>.CKRCMD                                             
       workpref.C2Rn<iiii>.CKR2PASS                                           
       workpref.C2Rn<iiii>.CKRTSPRT                                           
       workpref.C2Rn<iiii>.REPORT                                             
       workpref.C2Rn<iiii>.SYSTERM                                            
       workpref.C2Rn<iiii>.SYSPRINT                                           
                                                                              
     For efficiency reasons, these data sets are not deleted when you are     
     finished with the dialog. You should select this option when security or 
     space management considerations require that you delete these data sets  
     after leaving the interface.                                             
     Note that the CKRCMD data sets are only deleted if you select the        
     suboption "Delete CKRCMD on exit" under the CKRCMD settings in the SETUP 
     OUTPUT menu as well.                                                     ​
