Here is the reply I sent Patrick in response to his question about a slow
SAVSYS:

Thanx for all your help Rob and Al ....

Patrick .... The SAVSYS process does several things.

        1.) Saves all user profiles 
        2.) Saves License Internal Code
        3.) Saves private authorities
        4.) Saves configuration objects
        5.) Saves objects from library QSYS

Your process could be running longer if any of those items significantly
changed in size after your upgrade.

I ran this issue by several other people "in the know" too.

Here are some things they suggest you check:

        1.) See how many QHST file are in library QHST. Delete any you don't
need.
        2.) Make sure PTF SI02913 is on your system. This PTF fixes some
known performance
                problems with SAVSYS. It is part of V5R1 Cume C3007510.
        3.) Consider running SAVSYS as follows: SAVSYS DEV(TAPXX) OMIT(*CFG
*SECDTA) 
                This will omit the SAVCFG and SAVSECDTA processes of the
SAVSYS. These 
                two processes should be run with your daily backup and they
don't require that 
                your system be in a restrictive state either.

I hope this helps you out. Let me know if any of these ideas made a
difference.

Good luck, 

Kenneth

Someone is telling me that their SAVSYS is running 4 or 5 times longer since
upgrading to V5R1. They aren't using any special BU products, just the
native SAVSYS command. 

In your experience, what usually affects how long SAVSYS runs?

Here is what I think....

1.) Number of profiles

2.) Number of private authorities.

3.) Number of configuration objects on the system ....

If there were no significant changes in these three items, what possibly
could be happening.... 

Hmmmm, a mystery...
