Loading from one I515 to another

JaneS — Tue, 06 Jul 2010 15:25:55 +0000

We have 2 I515 systems. One is fully configured and in use. The second is as IBM shipped it with the basic operating system etc. Can I use my SAVSYS and regular saves to load the second system??? There could be a twist in that the second system may have a different primary language.

SAVSYS runs for half and an hour

Kagacchi — Thu, 04 Mar 2010 09:47:55 +0000

Recently, We executed SAVSYS in restricted state.
I know that SAVSYS usually runs for about 10 minutes.
But, at that time , SAVSYS had run half and an hour.

I don’t know why SAVSYS runs much time.

I know that SAVSYS save LIC, SAVSECDTA,SAVCFG.
But I have know idea about what is bad.
I don’t know SAVSYS detail behavior.

IBM support said “Need JOBLOG”
But, We can’t get JOBLOG.
We can’t SAVSYS again.

The machine has 3TB disk strage.
Our clients use about 40 percent.

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

SAVSYS vs Daily Backups

Pepper — Mon, 31 Aug 2009 13:43:41 +0000

My question is about the AS/400 and SAVSYS. Is it true that a daily backup process backs-up everything that has changed since the last SAVSYS? I’m being told that all changes (including data, programs and patches) are backed up as part of the daily backup. They also tell me that the daily backup includes configuration data and security data, plus QGPL, QUSRSYS and QUSRBRM. They claim that bringing the system down, is not required for this daily backup process. What’s the real story?

Do we need to run SAVSYS every 6 months ?

SRC C167280A/C1F7280A

Hi, We are at a DR test site and on the first stage of IPL’ing from the SAVSYS tape, the IPL is still progressing with the SRC – C167280A/C1F7280A. Now are these SRC’s quite normal?

How do I NOT save a file

Rjrohwer — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 21:08:58 +0000

Once a month we run an Entire System Save. For reasons that are hard to explain I would like to Not save several files when we do a System Save. IBM has given me a couple of options. One being to FTP the file to a server, delete it, run the save then FTP file back to the library. The second being to creat a library starting with Q, like QMINE, moving the file there then running save System Data Only, which IBM feels will only save the system Q libraries then running save all user data which should ignore QMINE thinking it is a system library. Does anyone have any other ideas or had experience trying either of these options.

Increasingly lengthy SAVSYS times

Drhankins — Fri, 04 Jan 2008 21:17:42 +0000

Our time required for SAVSYS is growing, and we have not had much success with IBM on getting answers on why and how to fix.

We orginally thought the bulk of the time was with the SAVSECDTA, and then discovered user profiles owning large numbers of objects – most being scanned images. However, the private authority on these objects is not large, so…?
If it is the SAVSECDTA portion that is slowing us down, what can we do?

IBM is saying we should clean up the profiles in question that are unusually large, but how do you do that since someone hsa to own the objects?

Is anyone else having a problem with growing SAVSYS time as a result of the number of objects growing?

Would distributing the ownership of objects between other profiles shorten the amount of time our SAVSECDTA takes? If so, can you do that by selecting a group of objects to change their owners rather than doing them all at once or one at a time?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!
