QSYS objects on a full system save

["Adam Driver" <drivera@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

On a DSPTAP report from a full system save (option 21 from save menu) there are
a group of objects listed, all starting with Q, that come before the list of
libraries saved. As I understand it, these are various objects in QSYS that are
saved in a particular way so the system can be restored from this tape.

We have one object that caused errors and all I know from the joblog is the file
seq number (29). Correct me if I'm on the wrong path here, but we had one save
fall over and then a successful save. The joblog for the unsuccessful save says
"Output tape for file QSYSTAP in library QSYS could not be closed normally after
at least 0 blocks were written in file sequence number 29. Ending labels, tape
marks, or both may be missing from the volume." (There is an entry earlier in
the job log that says the tape was successfully initialised). I did a DSPTAP
after the second successful save and file sequence number 29 is an object called
Q5769SS1430240006. I guessed this is LICPGM (5769SS1) plus version (430). Is
there any way to tell what the 240006 is? Would the same object in QSYS be saved
in the same sequence with successive full system saves? Am I on the right track?
(Is this just perhaps something stupid like the operators using old tapes?)


Thanks in advance
