IFS save strategy WAS: The problem with SAVCHGOBJ . . . -- MIDRANGE-L

One way is to change your default wait time to a paltry 5 seconds or some
such thing. Then perform a
SAV DEV('/QSYS.LIB/TAP01.DEVD')
OBJ(('/*')
('/QSYS.LIB' *OMIT)
('/QDLS' *OMIT))
UPDHST(*YES)
And then analyze that for what fails. You may find out you have to omit a
lot of IBM type directories. Or stop/start a bunch of processes, like
Management Central. Then you have to decide about more volatile user
data. Examples being shares to spreadsheets, etc.

Then there are concern which are unique to various shops:
- Domino: Do you drop your Domino servers or get BRMS and use the special
hooks for Domino in BRMS?
- Guested lpars: Do you omit the /QFPNWSSTG directory or do you drop the
server when saving it?
- FSIOP/IXS/IXA/Nom Du Jour: See above statement.
- Virtual tape/CD: Do you save these, omit these, or simply do a
CHGATR OBJ('/VirtualDirectory') ATR(*ALWSAV) VALUE(*NO) SUBTREE(*ALL)
so that even a full system save ignores it? There are some directories
which have this attribute set by default.
