Re: Job holds large number of locks.

Evan !!

Think you might have hit on something here (or the start of something) !!

Last year backups bombed due to "too many objects" for the save command. What it
was hitting on was the library containing our Faxing application (from 
Quadrant).
We had not purged any faxes and each one was a member and there was the 
proverbial
"butt load" of members... Clearing that up made everything better...

Strange thing is that I now purge faxes on a very regular basis so I'm not sure 
if
that is what it is in this case ?

Thanks !

Chuck
