Re: MIDRANGE-L Digest V3 #671

Is auditing turned on?  Check to see if the QUADJRN journal exists and
check the collection of QAUD* system values to determine what exactly, if
anything, is being logged.

I would think it highly unlikely the AS/400 is responsible.  It doesn't
delete files arbitarily - certainly not user files anyway.  I would blame
(in this order): a user or operator or JDE.

Hi, all.  I am looking for some help.

Two files (one physical and one logical) have disappeared from our system
today.
They are JD Edwards control files that are referenced often by programs all
over
the system.  Based on the timing of jobs completing successfully and jobs
blowing up with File Not Found errors, we have narrowed the time slot down
to
somewhere between 13:55 and 13:58.  We would like to know how this has
happened
so we can prevent it from happening again.

We figure the choices are 1)  Someone deleted them either intentionally or
unintentionally, 2)  JD Edwards programs messed up, or 3)  OS/400 lost the
files.  We are pursuing 1 and 2, but no one here will 'fess up and JDE
swears
that there is no function in the system that would delete these files.  I
don't
want to blame the AS/400, but I have to at least consider the possibility.
Is
anyone aware of any system records that would help us trace this?  The
system
log does not have that kind of detail,  and because this is a JDE control
file
it is kept in a library that is not journaled.

Much obliged.

Phil
