Re: Transaction Logging on AS400

Brian,

Welcome to the best system in the world. I see you're with Hub Group. What
kind of transactions are you talking about? If you are talking about
transactions related to DB2/400 files, for example, you should mosey over
to the iSeries developers in your shop and ask them about journaling.

Subject: Transaction Logging on AS400

All,

New to the AS400 here. Is there a best practice or recommended way to
implement the transaction logging on an AS400? By that I mean should this
be a separate controller/drive? I know on a windows server they recommend
a separate disk/controller for your transaction logs so it can do both
writes at the same time.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks for any info you can provide.

Brian

Re: Backing up multi-version releases






I "think" that if you did a WRKDOMSVR and used option 12 to see the data
directory that you should be able to save that directory. Then on a
different machine make sure it has the same version of Domino loaded.
Restore your server and do a CFGDOMSVR and get it back into the other misc

'/QIBM/UserData/Lotus' genre of directories. Make sense? A little TCP/IP

configuration may be needed (ADDTCPIFC stuff). But I have a tendency to
save a few of these directories nightly anyway.

Backing up multi-version releases







Now that the dust has settled after our upgrade to 6.5.4, I've been
studying the changes in the file structure for the server to support
multi-versioning. I want to make sure that I'm still backing up all of
the
necessary files.

I'm sure there are much more sophisticated backup strategies available,
but
I'm using a simple CL to end the server, write the files to savefile,
restart the server, then write the savefile to tape.

Currently, I'm saving the data directory from my server (where the
databases are stored), /QIBM/UserData/Lotus/*, and the QNOTES and
QUSRNOTES
libraries. In the redbook Installing and Managing Domino for 6.5 for
iSeries, it indicates that "backing up all Domino databases" simply
requires the data directory and /QIBM/UserData/Lotus/Notes/*. Apparently,
QNOTES and QUSRNOTES are part of the "program libraries" -- so should I
drop them from my backup?

I'm looking on pages 133 - 135 if anyone wants to see what I'm talking
about.

Also, my iSeries resource guy indicated that if we had a disaster and
needed to recover the entire Domino server (but not the iSeries) that we
could delete the Domino libraries and folders, re-install the server
software, and restore our backup. By Domino libraries, I'm expecting it
to
be all those listed on page 133 of the redbook stated above. Is this a
wise approach or are we asking for trouble?

Thanks,
Patrick
