Chris,
When you IPL, are doing a manual IPL to restricted state.
Check the locks at that point.

Afternoon All,
I cannot follow the steps to recover QSYS2/SYSIXADV because the file is in use and locked
As per this page.
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-damaged-sysixadv-file
How to Recover from a Damaged SYSIXADV File - IBM<
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-damaged-sysixadv-file>
Resolving The Problem. The Index Advisor file used when the optimizer determines that a permanent index might be beneficial - and it returns the key columns necessary to create the suggested index into QSYS2/SYSIXADV.
www.ibm.com
The first set of instructions will not work as I get an error saying Cannot allocate object SYSIXADV
and I cannot DLTF the files as SYSIXADV is in use.
the output of WRKOBJLCK is as follows:
Work with Object Locks
System: DEEPBLUE
Object . . . . : SYSIXADV Type . . . . . : *FILE-PHY
Library . . : QSYS2 ASP device . . : *SYSBAS
Type options, press Enter.
4=End job 5=Work with job 8=Work with job locks
Opt Job User Lock Status Scope Thread
QDBSRV04 QSYS *SHRRD HELD *JOB
*SHRRD HELD *JOB
It's been sat like that now for a good 48 hours and QDBSRV04 is a System job so I can't use 4 to end it
I can't complete the steps to recover this unless I can release the lock and I cannot release the lock.
How do I sort this?
I have already tried these steps,
If the previous steps do not work due to locks, you can also try the following steps:
1. ADDENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_NO_INDEX_ADVICE) VALUE('') LEVEL(*SYS) 2. IPL 3. Repeat the DLTF steps if needed 4. RMVENVVAR ENVVAR(QIBM_NO_INDEX_ADVICE) LEVEL(*SYS) 5. IPL
But the result is the same I still cannot delete the file as its locked by QDBSRV04
Thanis
Chris

Subject: QSYS2/SYSIXADV - Damaged
Evening All,
Okay so I resolved my initial issue with QSYS2/SYSROUTINE, did a SAV21 (KEEP THIS)
Then I installed a cumulative ptf, now I have a problem with QSYS2/SYSIXADV
Tried to follow the instructions here
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-damaged-sysixadv-file
How to Recover from a Damaged SYSIXADV File - IBM<
https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/how-recover-damaged-sysixadv-file>
Resolving The Problem. The Index Advisor file used when the optimizer determines that a permanent index might be beneficial - and it returns the key columns necessary to create the suggested index into QSYS2/SYSIXADV.
www.ibm.com
When I do step one I get "Cannot allocate object SYSIXADV"
I then tried the second set intructions for if locks caused a problem
But after doing step 1 and 2 the system still won't let me delete QSYS2/SYSIXADV claiming it is locked.
using WRKOBJLCK it appears to be locked by QDBSRV05 I have no idea what I am doing wrong.
Can someone tell me.
Thanks Chris
