Re: Interactive Subsystem Ending

Paul,

IBM is no help.  They say to split into multiple sbs's with a couple hundred in
each one.  Maybe that's the answer but I'd like a second or third or fourth.....
 opinion.

I was having the same problem - hundreds of QPAD* devices costing me 20+ 
minutes on my nightly backup.

I did two things:  1)  created multiple subsystems (QINTERPAD0, QINTERPAD1, 
etc.) and allocated the devices to the specific subsystems, and 2)  set the 
QINACTITV value from *NOMAX to 90 minutes.

I had tried in the past to get approval to change the inactivity interval, but 
was rejected due to user pressure.  However, when I was able to convince 
management the time savings by having inactive users log off, I was given the 
go ahead.  (I was shooting for 30 minutes, but was glad to settle for 90).

BTW,  my daily backups (SAVCHGOBJ *ALLUSR) used to take over 30 minutes each 
night.  Now they complete in under 10 minutes.
