RE: *USRIDX

["Kurt Goolsbee" <kurt.goolsbee@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have used user indexes for lots of stuff.  I usually only find them
damaged after a system crash while they are being updated.

I've been told that there is no guarantee that an OS/400 *USRIDX object can
"survive" a system IPL without being damaged in some way? Is anyone else
aware of this limitation? I find it hard to believe that a permanent OS/400
object can't survive an IPL!

How it All Works 

Though the configuration itself is done through Operations Navigator, the
routing information is stored in a user index on the AS/400e or iSeries 400
server, QUSRSYS/QYSMSVRE. Unfortunately, this is not a very stable object
and it is not guaranteed that it will make it through an IPL undamaged. For
this reason, it is recommended that you save this object and restore it
during each IPL in order to guarantee its continued functionality.
