RE: BPCS 6.1mm performance and the AS/400 - ZEF

You can also :

CHGPF FILE(BPCSF/ZEF) FRCRATIO(1)

this is an old issue on 6.0.04 MM, that causes loops with ORD703B because of
corrupted records in the file and you'll have timeouts.

Bye

The ZEF file should also be empty when BPCS is not in use. It is the error
log file for Order Entry, (not sure what practical purpose it serves) - but
if it gets lots of records in it, it will eat up time during order entry.
Logicals should not be built over it, even if DBMON suggests it, as this is
usually a sign it has too many records and should be cleared out instead
(rather than adding overhead of maintaining logicals against a file that has
no real business use). Arrange a job to clean it up (CLRPFM) periodically
when users are not on the system (such as right after backups before
restarting the system).

Hope this helps.
