     Actually, we're using HA Lite.  Which, as far as I can tell, isn't
     geared
     down from "full blown" HA.  It just doesn't have some features that the
     full blown has.

       Mimix DR1. Release C013. You've probably got the full blown system.
     This
       is a low cost version for folks who can live with a few hour delay on
       replication. Pretty cool stuff.

         Re: Runaway QHST

         It turns out that the upgrade to 5.4 requires an upgrade to the
     MIMIX
         DR1
         software. Despite what I was told 6 weeks ago that there would be no
         problems, when I finally got through to somebody who really knew the
         answer, I learned that the existing version of the MIMIX software
         doesn't
         work right with 5.4. Lakeview's tech support folks knew about it and
     had
         sent out emails about it. Unfortunately, nobody at Lakeview had
     placed
         me
         or the client on the alert list.

         The spike in the Mimix job logging was caused by the fact that
     instead
         of
         replicating 50 to 100 objects each cycle, Mimix was grabbing all
     9,000
         plus objects in the libraries eligible for replication.

         I'll install the fix tomorrow.

         I can understand blaming Mimix on QAUDJRN, but QHST*?  What makes
     you
         think so, the appearance of a multitude of these:
         Job 336233/MIMIXOWN/CMPOBJA ended on
         Job 336249/MIMIXOWN/CMPOBJA started
         Job 336249/MIMIXOWN/CMPOBJA ended on
         Job 336250/MIMIXOWN/CMPOBJA started

         Sorry if this is a little dated, spent all last week at a Mimix
     class.

           V5R4? My customer got up to 98% when a new QHST was being created
         every

         10
           minutes or so. Turns out that the logging on Mimix was the
     culprit.
     It
           also turns out the JDE admin did not run the DSPOBJD on all JDE
         objects,
           therefore, each time an object was used for the first time it got
           expanded, therefore changed.

           They ran up to 58 GB of space used for temporary objects on a
     140GB
           machine. I'm having them reboot tonight to get that space back

             Here's a strange one to watch for.

             Customer calls wanting disk moved around on a 520 LPAR. They
     have
         gone
             from 60(ish) percent full to 90(ish) in the last few weeks and
     dont'
             know why. I get there this morning and am also told 'your backup
     (I
             wrote it for them) also failed the last two Wednesdays can you
     check
             that too?'.  Sure, so I hit DSPLOG starting at 2 AM  After 10
         minutes
             still input inhibit. Hmmmm. Sysop tells me he quite using DSPLOG
         because
             it takes *WAYTOOLONG. Hmmmmm (again).  WRKOBJPDM QSYS/QHST*
     blows
     up
             with 'too many objects'. Hmmmmmmm!   DSPOBJD of QHST* and a
     query
         shows
             187,000 of them totaling 150+GB. Well now there's the disk space
         they've
             been missing!  Oldest file is 30 days old and matches CHGCLNUP
         values.
             Whysomuch? Turns out they had a damaged device description which
     the
             system was trying to vary on, that failed with damage, then it
     tried
         to
             delete it but the damage made the system think it was already
     gone,
         then
             it tried to make a new one which failed with 'already there'
     then
     it
             tried to vary it on which f....  This it did right around 1,500
         times
             per second, creating a new QHST* file every 2 or 3 seconds. For
         about
             three weeks.  The backup failure turned out to be SAVSYS failing
         with
             too much stuff in QSYS!

             ps: They thought the system had been running a tad sluggish as
     well.
