RE: IFS objects in use

Thanks to all who responded and yes, Midrange-L would have been the
appropriate forum.
Turns out that the objects were allocated to save/restore operations
related to backup and mirroring.
While an IPL resolved the problem, the daily launch if these operations
caused the problem to recur.
Cancelling these operations again resolved the problem.
Strangley, this usage is not exposed by the system IFS usage function.

I have a serious problem with the IFS.
Attempts to operate on many IFS objects fail because the OS says they
are in use.
However, Ops Nav reveals that although these objects are indeed in
use, it shows that there are no jobs using the object.
This now appears to be endemic, with many root folders suffering the
same affliction.

After an IPL last night these objects still appear to locked as in
use.?? The system won't let you do anything with them.

I have not been able to find any info that will help release whatever
is locking these objects.
