Re: SAVOBJ *OUTQ Results in multiple items in *SAVF

OK. You have my curiosity peaked. I have submitted 20 jobs to create 1000
spools each, and I will attempt a test. I don't think that it will finish
before I go home.

I was informed by a developer for save/restore that the noted outcome
is working as designed (WAD), and indeed the condition is related to the
number of spool files that are _in_ the output queue when the save is
performed. Additionally, a reference to that part of the design is
noted in the APAR SE28660 which can be searched on the IBM Service
website. That APAR provides a recent fix for a problem restoring from
such output queues. The specific text from the APAR relating to the
condition seen:
... large output queues were saved, and some of the large
output queues are not restored. For the purpose of this problem,
a _large output queue_ is defined as one which had its spooled
files divided into multiple groups when it was saved. A large
output queue is listed more than once when the save/restore
media is displayed (DSPTAP, DSPSAVF, or DSPOPT) to OUTPUT(*).

I ran a SAVOBJ command to save an Output Queue to a Save File.

SAVOBJ OBJ(METASENT2) LIB(QGPL) DEV(*SAVF) OBJTYPE(*OUTQ)
SAVF(ARCHIVES/METASENT) SPLFDTA(*ALL)

I ended up with multiple items in the Save File:

+-------------------------------------------------------------------
| Display Saved Objects

|

| Library saved . . . . . . . : QGPL

|

| Type Options, press Enter.

| 5=Display

|

| Opt Object Type Attribute Owner Size (K) Data

| METASENT2 *OUTQ HQPGPEM 217420 YES

| METASENT2 *OUTQ HQPGPEM 290052 YES

+--------------------------------------------------------------------

The part that has be baffled is why I ended up with multiple objects

> in the *SAVF!!

Could it be related to the 11,037 spooled files that were in the output

queue?

Inquiring minds want to know!
