Re: SAVF too large for FTP

Would you elaborate, Sal. I'm not aware of any zip function native to
the System i other than PKWare's version, which isn't free.

One thing you may want to try is compressing the SAVF using ZIP before
FTP'ing it. Should cut it's size pretty drastically and ZIP is free
on your System i.

V5R3 supports DTACPR as well; I use it at *MEDIUM all the time. On a
typical library containing PFs I get 80-90% compression. For instance

I

recently saved a 149GB library to a 17GB SAVF.

You might also try to CHGFTPA and up the inactivity timeout. I've seen
it in the past where a session would timeout even though a transfer was
in progress.

We are on v5r3 on both machines.

Have you looked at V5R4's DTACPR(*HIGH) or *MED? Compared to these
DTACPR(*YES) is a sick joke.
