Re: Copyng a library

I had a similar problem, discussed in a thread "RSTLIB restarts Journaling. Why?" back in Nov 2011. I'm no longer in that job, but I think a QDFTJRN was the answer, though I'm not sure I managed to actually stop the journaling. Here's a link to one entry in the thread:

Hi,

I need to create an infrequently used copy of our live data every month. It has to be a complete copy, so originally we were using CPYLIB. But CPYLIB takes an extraordinarily long time to do the job and interferes with the day-to-day processing if (when) it runs into the work day.

Recently we decided to use RSTLIB instead which would restore the nightly backup from the tape and even if the job did run slowly it would not affect the users. However, both DLTLIB and CLRLIB take even longer to clear the backup library before we can restore to it.

After some investigation I discovered that the backup library is journaling to the same journal as the live data after a RSTLIB but no objects are journaled after a CPYLIB. I'm guessing that the journaling is causing the CLRLIB to take an exceptionally long time, and no journaling is required on the backup copy, so can anyone advise how I can use RSTLIB but prevent the journaling from starting on any of the objects restored?


Thanks in advance,
Paul.
