Re: Save to SAVF hangs

Sorry don't have the job status from wrkactjob when the job is hung.

The joblog shows it starting to save a lib and then nothing until the admin
trys end the job with *immed several hours later, which doesn't work. At
this point QHST shows all the objects saved. After the ENDJOBABN is issued
we get a message that the savefile is damaged.

They are not using SWA as they have ended QINTER, TCP etc. There is a
separate job that starts QINTER, TCP etc later well after the backup is
supposed to have finished.

These savf are cleared/created each day in a new lib, so there should be any
locks, I see if I can catch it when it is happening ( 2am yuck )

This process ran for a couple of weeks in testing on this HW and is code
from the previous system. WRKPRB and SST problem logs are clean

to tape just fine. Recently the 2nd save of of 20+ libs to savefiles

kill it. The system is a new E4A at 6.1 with the 10047 CUME and
numerous
groups applied,

Define "hangs." What was the job status (such as in WRKACTJOB)? Was
anything written to the save file? Had it been cleared? Were any messages
sent to system operator or other message queue waiting for response? Is
this a pure IBM save operation, or are there exit points et cetera
involved?
Did anyone check for locks on the problem save file? Was CPU being
consumed
by the save job? Is there any useful information in the joblog?
