How You Bypass Integrity Processing to Resolve Conflicts

GDIF provides you with a command that lets you create controlled integrity exposures to resolve cross-system resource conflicts. As soon as the job has finished running, GDIF automatically restores global integrity processing for the affected data sets.

When a job on the local system is involved in a cross-system conflict and that job is the only local job that needs the resource, you can use the DEQJOB command to bypass integrity processing. This command tells GDIF to give the job access to the data set, even though that resource is being protected by GDIF. This lets you create a controlled integrity exposure if, for example, a local job needs to run a report that uses a data set held exclusively by CICS whenever CICS is active.
