Re: DAOS Quick start guide - Requesting verification.

Also getting a chink in IBM's armor about their requirement that I do
BATCH(*YES) ALWMLTTHD(*YES) when doing a compact via RUNDOMCMD under 8.5.
Their basic requirement is multithreading. Which you aren't going to do
without submitting RUNDOMCMD to batch, and doing that correctly.

I've just about got them believing that
SBMJOB CMD(RUNDOMCMD SERVER(server) CMD(CALL PGM(QNOTES/COMPACT) PARM('-c'
'-daos' 'on' 'mail/cedwards.nsf' '-ZU' '-n' '-v')) BATCH(*NO)
ALWMLTTHD(*NO)) JOBQ(MYLIB/SENSIBLE) ALWMLTTHD(*YES)

is an acceptable replacement for
RUNDOMCMD SERVER(servername)
CMD(CALL PGM(COMPACT) PARM('-c -daos on -ZU -n -v'))
BATCH(*YES)
ALWMLTTHD(*YES)
Because submitting it on our own allows us to pick a proper job queue and
not one that is dependent on QGPL/QDFTJOBD.

I've also discovered that if you ENDJOB one of these compact jobs that are
running via RUNDOMCMD when the server is down that you had better kill the
related BATCHI type job called LOGASIO or if you try and compact the file
again it's going to tell you that it's in the process of being compacted.
