RE: Who has a big QTEMP?

[Jim Langston <jlangston@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I know that it has always been suggested that you IPL once a week.  Which we
do.  Anything more than this and you are putting unneccessary strain on the 
AS/400
hardware.  Anything less than this and your system has a lot of files and 
temporary
space that needs to be cleaned up.

I guess you hit this yourself, with not IPLing.  I know there are AS/400's out 
there
used 24/7 and am not sure how they deal with it.  But, we IPL once a week (every
Friday night) and don't have any problems.

We are running V4R4.

We don't bring down the interactive subsystem down.  The box used to be in
Hollywood and they did bring down the interactive subsystem during
end-of-day processing.  They don't do that now that it is in Florida.
That's interesting.  Also, they just implemented a job timeout of 60 mins.
I thought that would take care of any interactive jobs using space.

We don't have the PTF's SF63446 or SF62590 and can't wait to hear Jim
Knight's results.

Unfortunately, I've been here 2 months and don't know how everyone uses the
AS/400 yet.  I know there is some use of ODBC, but not sure how much.

Where is this "max uses" parm?  I don't recall ever running into that one?

Thanks everyone for the info.  After I read about those PTF's, I'll be
passing it along to the powers that be.
