RE: RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB AMFLIBE is performance hog

Thanks, this is helpful.  We don't have enough DASD to save to disk but
perhaps we will have enough after our next hardware upgrade.

Incidentally, we are in the same situation as Joe P who wrote earlier about
MAPICS fees for processor upgrades.  We are on an 820 and thought the
pricing to go to an 810 was pretty attractive.  Until MAPICS entered the
picture.   Boss is now wondering what it would take to strip out MAPICS as
we have a ton of custom code anyway.  He's thinking maybe we can write the
code ourselves for the small portion of MAPICS we do use.

If you have enough disk-space, you may want to consider the
Backup-to-disk option.  The resulting Save-files (located in library
AMSLIBy, where y=your data environment id) can be saved to tape at your
convenience for off-site storage and the file restores can be processed
much faster from disk.

It may save time, but from my experience, most restore operations hit
system response pretty hard.

Manually refreshed our test environment this morning using last night's
backup tape.  All went smoothly except our system really slowed down
during
the restore from tape.  Restore was from a MAGSTAR 3570 of AMFLIBE which
is
40 GB.  The restore took 1.5 hours

I submitted the RSTOBJ interactively but changed the priority to 51
after my
boss called asking why the system was so slow.  For the next refresh,
what
can I do to limit the resources a RSTOBJ OBJ(*ALL) SAVLIB AMFLIBE uses?
