RE: Damaged objects -- MIDRANGE-L

Hi again,
thanks for all the replies so far,
In answer to some of your questions and to clarify things a little more:

No, I have not yet reported the problem to IBM, so nothing to report on that
side.
When I said "a very high amount" I should have elaborated to, from looking
in the LIC log there are in excess of 300 entries refering to Damage Set and
Damage encountered.
The damaged objects appear to be on database files mostly, and device
descriptions with some others.
After looking through PRTERRLOG on Steve's advice over the last month, of
725 entries the following appear often (about 150 entries between them)
1.LIC program reported informational error.
2.Error detected in OS/400 licence program.
3.Procedure error in licenced program.
There are also many entries with no descriptions.
Upgrading to a higher release is not an option for us at the moment as we
are tied at V4R3 for client support reasons on this box.
William,
you mention checking the DST logs, will I get more info here than is
available through the SST logs ?
Unfortunatly I have not been able to tell what what objects exactly were
damaged after the last reclaim as our full back up procedure that has the
rclstg in it also has a clrlib(qrcl) however I have taken this clrlib out of
the program now, so hopefully after the w/e I will have some more info on
the type of damaged objects.

thanks again
Neil

You probably already have a good idea about how to prepare your backups,
etc., so I can ignore that. And a re-install of OS/400 isn't much different
from a release upgrade, so I won't go into that either -- the manual says
more than I can.

A couple things I'm curious about though...

You say "a very high amount..."... Is that hundreds? more than a couple? a
dozen?

And what kinds of objects? Device descriptions? Database members? Are they
random types or are they from particular groups of types?

It's possible that the answers will lead to further questions. I've seen
some specific situations that *might* match. (Don't start holding your
breath though.)
