RE: LDFXxx System Tasks.

This is the CISC-to-RISC conversion.  Your CISC program objects must be
converted to RISC before your RISC system can use them.  The conversion is a
performance hog.  It sounds like you're developing on CISC and running
production on RISC.  If you're constantly restoring program objects which
you know will be used, then use FRCOBJCVN(*YES *RQD) on your restore.  This
will cause the program objects restored to be converted immediately, but
will lengthen the restore time as well.  

OTOH, if you were restoring a huge CISC library to RISC and needed to use
the library right away, you'd probably want to use FRCOBJCVN(*NO).  Later,
during off-peak hours, submit the STROBJCVN LIB(LibraryName).  The STROBJCVN
will do all the necessary conversions so that you don't have the delay when
a program is called the first time after it is restored from a CISC box.

Subject: LDFXxx System Tasks.

When restoring programs compiled and saved at V3R2 to a system running
either V4R3/V4R4 from a save file, the system suffers from performance
issues.
There are 4/5 LDFXxx system tasks running, with each taking around 20% of
the
systems
CPU. The QFRCCVNRST system value is set to '0' and the FRCOBJCVN parameter
is
set to *SYSVAL. When the objects are saved at V4R3/V4R4, the LDFXxx jobs are
present but only use a minimal
amount of CPU. Can anyone tell me what these tasks are doing? I seem to
remember
having the same problem
 a few years back but have forgotten.

Thanks

Viv
