Re: Housekeeping

Hi,

Thanx for the help.

The application is a web based intranet application. System is active
(i.e.available to users) 24hrs a day. Even a small delay in response is
noticeable and not acceptable.

There are 15 logical files. If the logical files are set to MAINT(*REBUILD)
then there would be a time delay.
