Avoiding RECON data set contention problems

Maximum RECON data set availability depends on eliminating deadlock situations and minimizing situations in which more than one RECON data set becomes simultaneously unavailable.

For maximum availability, each RECON data set must:

• Have different space allocations. The spare data set must be at least as large as the largest RECON data set.
• Be on a different volume.
• Be in different user catalogs.
