The DFHCSDUP VERIFY command

Description

Use the VERIFY command only when the CSD file is not in use and no backout processing is pending on the CSD file; preferably use it only when no CICS® systems that may use the CSD file are running. In particular, do not use the VERIFY command while CICS systems could be accessing the CSD file in RLS access mode.

VERIFY acts on the whole CSD file, and is for use in the extreme condition where internal lock records remain behind. These records are normally removed when a function that changes the CSD file is complete. However, this might not have happened if there was a system failure when the CEDA transaction was running, or if an offline utility failed to finish. The locks may prevent CEDA users from accessing certain groups and lists on the CSD file.

Note that VERIFY removes only the internal locks. It does not affect the normal user locks applied by the LOCK command in the CEDA transaction.
