RE: OS/400 journaling of Mapics data

[Konrad Underkofler <kdunderk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mike,

I am not sure given the MAPICS architecture that this is possible.
To journal all MAPICS files would be difficult, not to mention expensive
in horsepower and disk space. As the applications were added over the years
some used temporary files, some used multiple members, some made extensive
use of QTEMP to storage in process data.

Plus the nitely backup cleans up and resets several internal files and
counters
used by checkpoint restart.

In the worst case scenario, a non-restartable job killed by a system failure
would still not be fixed by the hot backup becuase the job image in QTEMP,
JOBACT and QBATCH would not be the same on the new machine even if all files
were in sync.

Regards

Konrad
