Using ASPs complicates your disk management so I don't recommend it
unless there is a good reason.  That said, there are some good reasons.
If you still use QDLS there is a limit of 349,000 documents in an ASP.
We used to use multiple ASPs for that reason.  About the time I got our
imaging application converted to use the IFS we decided to keep many
more documents online and that meant external storage.  The application
programmers were very concerned about the performance of the external
storage and insisted that I keep the application libraries on the
internal drives.  The only way to do that was to configure the external
storage as a user ASP.  I expect that I'll need to convert it to an iASP
one one these days...

subject: ASP usage

  I am in the middle of upgrading my Lawson AP/GL system. For various 
reason, but mainly availible storage, I put some libraries in ASP2.  
Well, the installer program by default creates libraries in ASP1 which 
caused problems.

I opened a call with them to see if they had another installer that 
supports ASP.  They said they didn't because the ASP were something 
that were popular in the S/36 days and they don't see them that much 
anymore

I was wondering if that's true?  Do most people configure just ASP1 
and that's it?

I've only worked on the AS/400 and I hadn't used ASPs up until 
recently.  I had some old drives I popped in my 5074 (?) and put old 
performance data on them.  Isolates them because there really not high 
performing.  (8.58 GB 10K).  I created another ASP for my Domino email 
files as well.

Just curious.

Mike Smith.
