DFS0440A GSR POOL ALREADY EXISTS, REPLY 'LOCAL' 'DELETE' OR 'ABEND'

Explanation

IMS issued a VSAM BLDVRP macro to build the VSAM global shared resource pool. When a return code of 4 is returned, indicating that a GSR pool exists, the system operator must reply.

System action

IMS waits for operator's response.

Operator response

Use one of the following responses:
LOCAL
Another IMS system is running with a GSR and you want initialization to continue. This option results in the use of the local shared resource (LSR) pool for this run of IMS.
DELETE
No other IMS system is running currently and you want to have the global shared resource (GSR) pool. This option results in the current GSR pool being deleted and a new GSR pool being built for this run.
Note: Choosing this option when a current IMS system running with a GSR pool, the pool is deleted. Results are unpredictable.
ABEND
Another IMS system is running with GSR, and you do not want to run this system with LSR, or you do not know whether another system is running with GSR and you want to terminate the initialization. This option results in message DFS0432I followed by abend 0430.
