RE: Data Corruption / 400

["Mark A. Manske" <mmanske@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have been around since 1983, working with S/3, S/34, S/36, S/38 and the
AS/400 (err iSeries), the only
data that has been corrupted has been due to programmers errors, operations
errors.

The OS and DB platform are solid as a rock - the only issue I had was back
in about 1985 with a S/36
model D2K which lost a hard drive in the middle of the day, we called tech
support, and had everything
back up and running like nothing had happened before everyone got back in
the next morning -
those days where hard restoring from 8" diskettes - That I don't miss, but
ahhh those young days...

Mark

Subject: Data Corruption / 400


Has anyone EVER suffered data corruption on their 400 business data bases or
ever heard of it happening for some reason other than failure of hard
drives,
damaged objects, human error, software bugs, PC user in middle of doing some
update & the connection gets lost & the software was not written good enough
to recover from that scenario, malicious activity like hacker or someone who
lost their job & took improper action?
